SAN JOSE — Steve Spott lost his breath Monday when he learned that 10 people were killed by a rental van that went over the curb in his neighborhood and bulldozed through pedestrians indiscriminately for roughly two kilometers.
The intersection of Yonge Street and Finch Avenue, where the attack started, is just five kilometers from Spott’s home in uptown Toronto.
“When I heard Finch and Yonge, I thought, there’s no way,” Spott said. “It was too close to home for a lot of us. You could just never imagine something like that happening in Toronto.”
