Accused in Vancouver festival vehicle attack was under mental-health supervision, source says

The Vancouver man accused of using his SUV to kill 11 people attending a Filipino street festival was under supervision by his local health authority and meant to be abiding by certain conditions after being released from a forced stint in hospital, a source told The Globe and Mail. Adam Lo, 30, was placed in a local psychiatric ward in 2023 against his will. A year later, he was apprehended by police for another, shorter, detention in the hospital at the request of his mental-health team, according to the source, who has knowledge of Mr. Lo’s interactions with authorities. The Globe is not naming the source because they were not authorized to speak publicly about Mr. Lo’s history.
