LONDON, CANADA - JUNE 08: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and political leaders joined with thousands of others Tuesday in a vigil for four members of a Muslim family who went out for a Sunday evening walk in London, Ontario and died when a man deliberately drove his half-ton truck into them. Condemned as a "terrorist attack" by Trudeau, it also robbed the lone survivor of the incident -- a 9-year-old boy -- of his parents, sister and grandmother. He has been left an orphan, but an imam, or Muslim religious leader, said at the vigil that the members of the London community "are his family" now. Salman Afzaal, 46, his wife Madiha Salman, 44, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna Afzaal and Salman Afzaal's 74-year-old mother, Talat, were killed, while Fayez Afzaal remains hospitalized with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Police say the 20-year-old driver was motivated by hate. People gathered at vigils in other communities, including Ottawa and Toronto, but it was the scene of the tragedy that was the center of the ceremonies. People lined the streets leading up to the London mosque where the event was held and hundreds gathered, not just to mourn the lives lost, but to show support for the Muslim community. Imam Aarij Anwer said the coming together was important for the Muslim community "to heal, [to] see the compassion of our neighbors." Trudeau arrived at the vigil and laid flowers on the steps of the mosque from where speakers addressed the crowd. The leaders of the other four federal political parties and Ontario Premier Doug Ford also attended. (Footage by /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
