LAVAL, Quebec (Reuters) -Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined a grieving suburban Montreal community at a vigil on Thursday evening, a day after a bus driver plowed his vehicle into a local daycare center, killing two children and injuring six other kids.

Police charged the driver, 51-year-old Pierre Ny St-Amand, with nine counts, including first-degree murder and assault offences. Authorities have not yet given any indication of a motive behind the incident in Laval, Quebec, as they wait for a psychological evaluation of the suspect.
