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."

Just another on of those Random Stabbers.
Yep
Re Trudeau’s statement that his “heart is in North Vancouver tonight” (i.e. with the victims) is political gibberish. Translated into “real politique”, he’s really saying “My heart is in Havana (like his father’s was), but my false political front “heart” is in No. Vancouver” for publicity.
He is too much of a leftist political chameleon to be trusted as a really caring human being.
The difference being... ?

We don’t need more gun control. We need more drug abuse control. But so many people and relatives have drug problems, that the real main problem is not being addressed.
I believe North Vancouver is a separate municipality, not a part of Vancouver. The entire Greater Vancouver area is one of the most ethnically mixed areas in Canada. If it was a dark-skinned perpetrator it could have been someone from any dozens of countries from the US, Caribbean, Central or South America, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, or Southeast Asia.
Britain outlawed carrying of swords in 1745.
A stabbing in Canada?
BAN AMERICAN GUNS!
Isn’t it time now for the D’rats to ban all knives ?
They should start with all eating utensils, and kitchen knives too.
I’m sure that would take care of the problem (sarc)
Can the media change the actual dates & get people to buy it...
Saturday was March 27...Sunday is March 28.
Why should I EVER believe a writer who cannot get at least the dates correct???
Ban all knives. Oh wait I think they already did.
Didn’t not so Great Britain ban knives a few years as go. Some stores stopped selling butcher block kitchen knife sets.
Yes I think so.
Well, at least it wasn’t a nasty old gun, right?
