TORONTO ATTACKER LEAVES 10 DEAD

Canadians awake this morning knowing 10 are dead, 15 injured and suspected driver of the van that attacked the Toronto pedestrians is in custody. Investigators are putting together what they know about 25-year-old Alek Minassian of Ontario, the man accused of driving a van into pedestrians at a busy Toronto intersection, killing 10 and injuring 15. His motive is still unknown, but investigators say a Facebook page allegedly Minassian contains a reference to Elliot Rodger, the man who killed 6 and injured 14 in a 2014 drive-by shooting and vehicle ramming attack in California according to CNN.

Monday's event has not be listed as a terror attack, though they do say the act appeared to be "deliberate." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it a "tragic and senseless attack." Vice President Mike Pence said the White House is closely monitoring the attack. "The American people stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our neighbors in Canada," he tweeted.  

NASHVILLE SHOOTER IN CUSTODY 

According to CNN, the gunman accused of killing four people at a Nashville-area Waffle House on Sunday is now in custody. Travis Reinking, 29, asked for a lawyer as he was arrested after a manhunt that took police through homes and woods near the shooting site. Someone spotted Reinking emerging from the woods yesterday afternoon and phoned 911. He's due in court tomorrow to face four counts of criminal homicide. It's not clear what he was doing while on the run or what his motive for the shooting might be. However, it appears Reinking had his guns taken away at least twice before the attack. Authorities now looking at possible charges for Reinking’s father who gave him the guns back.  Photo Courtesy of Courtesy-CBS-News
