Witnesses say the suspect was acting delirious after exiting the bus, tearing off his clothes and screaming as several people restrained him on the ground before police arrived.and charged with two counts of first-degree murder as well as seven other charges, including attempted murder and aggravated assault.
Health officials said Wednesday they did not fear for the lives of the six injured children, who were hospitalized. The bus crash sparked a wave of support from across the country, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying all Canadians are grieving and promising the government will do "whatever we can" to support the families.
