This week, I will be talking about a tragic attack that happened recently. On April 23, a man drove a van across the western sidewalk of Yonge Street. This attack killed 10 people and injured many more. Five days have passed since the incident, we have learned many things. First, the assailant is a man named Alek Minassian. Second, the police have managed to for a list of all the victims killed. Finally, the police believe to know how the event happened.
The person responsible for all this is Alek Minassian. He is 25 and an anonymous source reports he has no regrets for what he has done. Apart from this, the police have not told the public anything else. I do not know why he would do this. Some people from my school says Alek was mentally unstable. However, I don’t know if this was true. After read multiple articles, I am still unsure of his motive. Even still, I think he has a reason because it would be tragic to learn 10 people died for no reason.
Speaking of the 10 people who died, they have all been identified. 8 of the victims were Canadian. Unfortunately, there were two visitors. One was a Korean college student and the other was a Jordanian citizen. Currently, all of the victim’s families are grieving.
Overall, it is tragic an incident like this had to happen. I wonder if Alek talked about his problems earlier, all of this could have been avoided. In the end, I hope this never happens again so this kind of suffering doesn’t occur.
