A solemn atmosphere is blanketing the western Canadian city of Vancouver, as hundreds attended vigils for victims of a car ramming attack over the weekend. Authorities described it as the “darkest day” in the city’s history. Local community members have gathered to pay respects, lighting candles, laying flowers and writing notes. Messages of condolences and support have also poured in from across the globe. The carnage took place just as tens of millions of Canadians prepared to vote for their next prime minister. The suspect has been charged with at least eight counts of second-degree murder. Karina Huber has the latest from Montreal.
