VANCOUVER -- Charges have been laid against a man after the attack on a Vancouver Filipino festival on Saturday night that killed 11 people.

British Columbia's Court Services Online says Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces eight counts of murder.

Vancouver Police have said those who were killed range in age from 5 to 65 and the death toll could rise as dozens more were hurt when an SUV raced down a street where the Lapu Lapu Day festival was just wrapping up.

More coming.
