Eby warns against jumping to conclusions about Lapu Lapu suspect’s care before attack
VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby says there’s a disconnect between what health authorities say about the prior condition of the suspect in the Lapu Lapu festival attack and the reality of what happened.
But Eby also says people shouldn’t jump to the conclusion that those involved in Adam Kai-Ji Lo’s care did anything wrong, adding the province is committed to a full public inquiry to answer those questions.
Lo, 30, is facing multiple second-degree murder charges after 11 people were killed when an SUV plowed through the Filipino street festival in Vancouver on April 26.
Lo received mental health care from a Vancouver Coastal Health team and Eby says the authority described Lo as compliant with his medication and having no history of violence.
