Not our beloved Fraser Street... My heart is broken. I feel so sick reading the horrific details of what people experienced at this evening's attack. This is a violent violation of a special safe place shared by so many, on a day to celebrate Lapu Lapu. Take care of each other.

Horrific video circulating of the aftermath of someone driving a speeding vehicle through Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day festival a couple of hours ago.
Wreckage everywhere; bodies moveless on the ground.
We have a news team there and will hopefully have details soon — but it looks to be quite bad.

A Sensitive Complex Housing a CIA Facility Was on GSA's List of US Properties for Sale
Plans to redevelop a Northern Virginia warehouse site have long been complicated by the area’s worst-kept secret—the presence of a CIA facility. The GSA put the site up for sale anyway.
