    A  20-year-old  suspect  wearing  a  vest  “like body armor” fled the scene after the  attack  on  Sunday  evening,  and  was   arrested   at   a   mall   seven   kilo-metres (four miles) from the intersection in London, Ontario where it happened,  said  Detective Superintendent Paul Waight.

    “There  is  evidence  that  this  was  a  planned,  premeditated  act,  motivated  by  hate.  It  is  believed  that  these  victims were targeted because they were Muslim,” he told a news conference.

    The  victims  include  a  74-year-old  woman,  a  46-year-old  man,  a  44-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl.
