A white van collided with a crowd of pedestrians on a busy street north of downtown Toronto on Monday, Toronto Police said.

A suspect is in custody and the van has been located, Toronto Police media representative Gary Long told CNN.

Stephen Powell, district chief for Toronto Fire, confirmed that there have been multiple casualties. A large presence of Toronto fire, police and EMS personnel are on the scene, Powell said.


Meanwhile, in other news...

Waffle House murder suspect in custody, police say

Travis Reinking, the man accused of killing four people at a Nashville-area Waffle House on Sunday, is now in custody, Metro Nashville police said Monday.

The arrest capped a day-long manhunt for the suspect police say unloaded an assault-style rifle at the restaurant in Antioch early Sunday morning.

A ****ing DAY-LONG search? For a NAKED GUY WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE? How hard can he have been to have tracked down?

North Korea’s main nuclear test site has partially collapsed under the stress of multiple explosions, possibly rendering it unsafe for further testing and leaving it vulnerable to radiation leaks, a study by Chinese geologists has shown.
Another nuclear accident in North East Asia!

The Orient really should just ban atomic weapons. They never seem to go in their favor.

Some welcome news at last! Hopefully it doesn't all fall through...


North and South Korea announce intention to end Korean War

Leaders of the two Koreas have agreed to end the Korean War, 65 years after hostilities ceased, in a wide-ranging joint announcement struck Friday, that includes working towards the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in and his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong Un, signed the "Panmunjom Declaration for Peace, Prosperity and Unification on the Korean Peninsula," at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that has divided the two countries for more than six decades.

Following the signing ceremony, the two leaders clasped hands and hugged in a symbolic act of togetherness after a full day of meetings, including a 30-minute private conversation beamed live around world.

President Donald Trump struck an optimistic note about what he described as a "historic meeting" between the Koreas, saying that "good things are happening."

A formal end to the war will involve more than just the Koreas. Both China and the US, under the flag of the United Nations, were massively involved in the conflict, and would have to be signatories to an eventual peace treaty.
