Murder by truck
Canada’s answer to Dylan Roof:
A 20-year-old man was charged Monday with four counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in a hit and run Sunday involving a pickup truck, in what London, Ont., police believe was a targeted attack on a Muslim family of five.
Evidence indicates it was premeditated.
The family members who died are:
- a 74-year-old woman.
- a 46-year-old man.
- a 44-year-old woman.
- a 15-year-old girl.
The youngest, a 9-year-old boy, is in the hospital with serious injuries.
Police say that at 8:40 p.m. ET, the family was walking along Hyde Park Road and were waiting to cross the intersection, in northwest London, when the truck mounted the curb and struck them.
Horrible.

This area is a known white supremacist hot spot, too.
Really scary. This was just this evening?
GW,
No, Sunday. Investigators moved it from a hit-and-run to a hate crime incident yesterday, and it was announced in the evening.
I wasn’t aware. Do you have details?
