One dead, five wounded in stabbing at Vancouver library, 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.

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, 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.
