One woman was killed and five others were wounded in a stabbing at a public library located near a busy shopping area of a Vancouver suburb on Saturday (March 28), and police said they had the lone suspect in custody.
The attack occurred in the early afternoon and investigators appealed for witnesses, especially those who had shot videos that later posted on social media.
"We have six victims who sustained stab wounds. We have a victim who has sadly succumbed to injuries. That victim is a woman," police Sgt. Frank Jang said in a news conference broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
"We believe we have the lone suspect in custody... Obviously, the question is why did this happen," Jang told reporters standing in front of the library where the attack occurred. No further details of the victims were provided.
Video from the scene appeared to show a man injuring himself with a knife before being taken into police custody.
While there was no report on his condition, Jang said that the suspect has a criminal record.
"My heart is in North Vancouver tonight," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Twitter. "Know that all Canadians are keeping you in our thoughts and wishing a speedy recovery to the injured."

Assault Knife Control!
It was a mass stabbing!
‘Sudden jihad syndrome?’
Yeah, they are reloadable for multiple use.
Motive unclear®
Ummm...NO, it wasn’t at the Vancouver Public Library, it was at a library in North Vancouver. Big difference.
Knife, eh.
Well that makes me wonder if it’s NOT a white guy, even up in the northwest.
Tucker Carlson pointed out recently that the number of people killed every year in the US with knives is far greater than the number killed with rifles. With the Canadian attitude towards gun control the ratio could be even higher in Canada.
Ban bump knives
“Knife, eh.
Well that makes me wonder if it’s NOT a white guy, even up in the northwest.”

Well, in the video in post one above, he sure looked black.
This looks REALLY familiar.
"We were driving up ... and there was a woman right beside her car with a 7-year-old boy, multiple stab wounds and bleeding profusely ... She said it was a random stabber who was running down the street," a witness who gave his name as Steve told Canada's Global News.
We need COMMONSENSE CULTERY legislation NOW!
Yes on the location—but I doubt that it was a private library.
We need Library Control. Book Control.
That’s not the northwest, that’s the lower mainland.
Name withheld to protect the guilty, which tells you all that you need to know. Peaceful religious type. Paging George W. Bush.
Public library in CANA-Duh! gotta be a gun free zone!
Oh wait?!?
Youtube comments say he’s black. Recent history has shown that if he’s white that fact is worked into the headline or at very least the first sentence.
