On March 27, a man went on a stabbing spree in and around the Lynn Valley Public Library in North Vancouver. One woman and six people were injured in the attacking incident. Sgt. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has said that the suspect was in custody. The team further said the attacker is in his 20s and he has been involved in interactions with police in the past. The officials said that the motive of the attacker has not been confirmed yet. One witness Steve Mossop said that he and his partner were stopped in traffic when they saw a bloodied woman who told them that she had been attacked.
