Same thing that is going on in many countries, yours included.
Mentally ill or religious extremists ( I guess that is the same category) try to copy others in killing and devastating acts.
One thing different than some though, the police and it was only 1 did not complete the sick persons wishes for suicide by cop and took the suspect into custody so authorities can now question and maybe learn more about his thinking.
Read this and watch the video, obviously good police work and well trained officer.

There have been a lot of these. London. Munster. Berlin. Barcelona. Paris. Nice. Stockholm. It’s hard to recall the details of any one specifically or to tell them apart. There’s a van or a car. Often it is rented. The driver steers it into a crowd, killing as many pedestrians as he can. Most end when whoever is behind the wheel is shot or shoots himself.
Today it was Toronto. But I think this one may stand out in our memory for more than the fact that it happened here, in Canada. It will also be remembered as “The one with the cop—the cop who didn’t shoot.”
