   Well dumb-assed Davey Hogg?   
      
   Are you going to demand that cars be restricted and banned now?  You   
   obsequious little gun-fearing prick?   
      
   Alek Minassian, the 25-year-old man suspected of killing at least 10   
   people and injuring 15 others, when a rental van he was driving struck   
   pedestrians on Yonge Street in north-end Toronto, has been charged   
   with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted   
   murder during a court appearance on Tuesday.   
      
   Minassian of Richmond Hill, Ont., arrived in court wearing a white   
   prison jumpsuit and hands cuffed behind his back.   
      
   The accused, after hearing his charges, was remanded into custody and   
   is scheduled to reappear in court via video on May 10. Judge Stephen   
   Waisberg said Minassian is not to have contact with the victims.   
      
   Police have said the suspect wasn’t known to authorities and they have   
   yet to confirm a motive.   
      
   Toronto police homicide squad Det. Sgt. Graham Gibson told reporters   
   during a news conference Tuesday afternoon the accused rented a van   
   from a Ryder location north of Toronto shortly before the attack. He   
   then drove to the Yonge Street and Finch Avenue area before 1:30 p.m.   
   on Monday.   
      
   “The accused is alleged to have posted a cryptic message on Facebook   
   minutes before he began driving the rented van and he drove it   
   southbound on Yonge Street and onto the crowded sidewalks,” he said.

   “He continued to drive southbound on Yonge Street deliberately   
   striking pedestrians on the sidewalk and the roadway with the   
   vehicle.”   
      
   Minassian was arrested near Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue minutes   
   after the first call came to officers. Police said a cellphone was   
   seized from the suspect.

   Global News obtained a Facebook message on Monday of the accused   
   praising the “Incel Rebellion” and California mass-killer Elliot   
   Rodger, just before carrying out the Yonge Street rampage.   
      
   “The Incel Rebellion has already begun!” reads the post. “We will   
   overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman   
   Elliot Rodger!”   
      
   Facebook confirmed to Global News it removed Minassian’s post Monday.   
      
   Gibson said it’s anticipated a 14th count of attempted murder will be   
   laid after further investigation. Police revised the number of injured   
   on Tuesday to 14 people from 15.   
      
   He said the victims are predominately female and the victims’ ages   
   range from their 20s to 80s. Gibson said there was no evidence the   
   accused was deliberately targeting women.

   Dr. Dirk Huyer, Ontario’s chief corner, said officials haven’t   
   confirmed any of the victims’ identities. He said it will likely take   
   several days to make positive identifications.   
      
   “We have to ensure we’re completely accurate when we do this. So we’re   
   always balancing the need to know and the desire to know quickly to   
   ensure that we have 100 per cent accuracy, and that takes time,” he   
   said noting the high number of deceased and injured victims and the   
   complexity of the incident.

   “We are actively obtaining (medical-related) records. We have notified   
   families and told them we believe tentatively that their loved ones   
   have passed, but we have also provided great caution in that and   
   therefore we will not be releasing any of those names until we fully   
   understand it.”   
      
   Chief Mark Saunders thanked surrounding police services for sending   
   additional collision reconstruction investigators to help process   
   multiple scenes along Yonge Street. He said police are looking to   
   shrink the footprint of the scene still blocked off on Tuesday.

   Saunders said the impact of the attack will have a long-lasting impact   
   on many.   
      
   “This is a toll that will last forever. The magnitude of where this   
   occurred is something that also is a concern. The well-being of my   
   officers and the civilians at the front end taking the calls in and   
   having to deal with it,” he said when asked how he felt when he got   
   the news of the attack   
      
   Police pleaded for residents with any information to contact the   
   Toronto police homicide squad, 32 Division or Crime Stoppers. Officers   
   asked anyone in the area with video of the attack to forward it to   
   police.

   Saunders also encouraged anyone who needs someone to talk to about the   
   attack on Monday to call Victim Services at 416-808-7066.   
      
   “I don’t want people walking away thinking, ‘I need help but I can’t   
   afford it’ or ‘I need help but I wasn’t apart of this investigation,”   
   he said, noting there is no cost.   
      
   Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday in Ottawa that he spoke to   
   the premier and the mayor on Monday and that there is no indication to   
   suggest the attack is an issue of national security.   
      
   “At this time we have no reason to suspect there is any national   
   security element to this attack, but obviously the investigation   
   continues,” Trudeau said.   
      
   “The events that took place yesterday in Toronto were a senseless   
   attack and a horrific tragedy. On behalf of all Canadians I offer my   
   deepest heartfelt condolences to the loved ones of all those who were   
   killed and we wish a full recovery to those injured and stand with the   
   families and friends of the victims.”   
      
   Identity of Toronto van attack suspect   
   According to Minassian’s LinkedIn page, he had been a student at   
   Seneca College studying computer software development.   
      
   The accused was also a brief member of the Canadian Armed Forces for   
   two months in 2017. A spokesperson said he did not complete the   
   recruit program and was voluntarily released after 16 days of   
   training.   
      
   Following the attack, police closed the 2.2 kilometre section of Yonge   
   Street for the investigation and officers cordoned off the suspect’s   
   home in Richmond Hill.

   A neighbour told Global News the community is multi-ethnic and people   
   often keep to themselves.   
      
   “Quiet family. Very rarely seen. The young man occasionally I would   
   just see him going in and out of the house,” resident Wes Mack said.   
      
   “The neighbourhood itself is very quiet. Very little interaction
