( April 23, 2018) SOUNDBITE: Tareq Amir, witness Placeline:Toronto Credit: The Canaian Press STORYLINE:Nine people have died and 16 more are injured after a man drove a van into numerous pedestrians along a stretch of one of Toronto's busiest streets, police said Monday. Deputy Chief Peter Yuen said the driver of the van is currently in custody, but did not offer details as to his identity or any charges he may be facing. "I can assure the public all our available resources have been brought in to address this tragic situation and to investigate," Yuen told a press conference near the scene. Yuen said calls began pouring into police at 1:30 on Monday afternoon reporting a driver careening down the stretch of Yonge Street between Finch Avenue and Shepherd Avenue in the city's north end. The street, home to many businesses, will be closed for some days as police conduct what Yuen said will be a complex investigation. "Toronto police service will be here for a number of days to shut down a busy stretch of Toronto, but that's what is required because this will be a long investigation with multiple witnesses." Toronto Mayor John Tory offered condolences to the families and the victims of the incident, saying the city was setting up a hotline to offer support to those affected and another one for witnesses who could help with the police investigation.
