The deadly car ramming attack in Vancouver is sending shock waves through the Filipino community. Several people were killed and dozens were hurt in the incident Saturday night.

ABC7 News talked to a Seattle man who was there. Devin Cabanilla, a dad from Seattle, was sharing on Instagram his tremendous relief.

“Good morning, everybody. Thanks to everybody who messaged or called. This is just faster. I’m safe. The kids are safe, especially,” Cabanilla said.

He also expressed his utter devastation.

“We’re all shaken up knowing that the people around us may not be alive. It’s really bizarre just knowing what happened around us,” Cabanilla said.

Cabanilla said the annual block party was supposed to be a joyous celebration of Filipino culture as part of Lapu Lapu Day.

He was among 20 Seattle parents and kids at the festival. They were participating in a dance performance.

Cabanilla and his family were leaving Saturday when chaos ensued in the Sunset District of Vancouver. They didn’t know anything was wrong until they got a call. Cabanilla talked to ABC7 News by phone what happened.

“Our dance director called us frantically saying, ‘Where are you. Are you safe? Something has happened.’ It was just a shock. They say there were police and ambulances all over here,” Cabanilla said.

Cabanilla said the massive festival was eight blocks long and everything seemed so safe. He broke down in tears on the phone as he struggled to process why the attack happened.

“I saw so many babies on the street. There were so many babies on the street, kids just eating ice cream, on their parents’ shoulders. That’s all I think about. And my kids were just walking around too. I’m sorry,” Cabanilla said.

Cabanilla said everyone in his large group is safe. But he’s worried and wondering about the vendors he knew right beside Fraser Street where the attack happened. He mentioned one vendor in particular.

“Her booth was next to the street where the incident was. Yeah, I haven’t heard back from that vendor yet,” Cabanilla said.

Saturday night’s car ramming attack is still under investigation. But police do not believe the incident was terrorism-related.

Sunday night, the community in Vancouver held a vigil for those killed and injured.

Bay Area Filipino community members ABC7 News talked with say they are checking with groups like Bayan Canada. They’re watching and waiting to see what they can do to help.

The Seattle Mariners drubbed the Miami Marlins 14-0 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park.

With the win, the Mariners are now 15-12 on the season and they own a share of first place with the Texas Rangers.

Seattle got big nights from everywhere in the lineup, with Jorge Polanco going 2-for-4 with two homers, three runs scored and two RBIs. Mitch Garver and Julio Rodriguez each homered, while Ben Williamson had four RBIs and Miles Mastrobuoni added three.

Starting pitcher Luis Castillo threw six scoreless innings to get back on track. He struck out five, lowering his ERA to 3.62 for the season.

The M’s also got some good news after the game on first baseman Rowdy Tellez, who left the game early after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Adam Jude of the Seattle Times reports that X-rays on his left hand were negative. It’s unknown if he’ll be in the lineup for the series finale on Sunday.

Signed to a minor league deal in spring training, Tellez made the team on the heels of a strong camp. Though he’s hitting only .170 this season, he does have four homers and 12 RBIs. He homered in each game of last weekend’s series win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Lifetime, he’s a .233 hitter with 109 homers and 331 RBIs.

The Mariners will go for a series win on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Marlins again at 1:10 p.m. PT.

M’s rookie Logan Evans will make his major league debut against Max Meyer.

In a surprising move, the Seattle Seahawks selected Robbie Ouzts with a compensatory pick at the end of the 5th round. Most projections had Ouzts going undrafted, so seeing him called in round 5 signifies the team sees a specific purpose for the unique player.

Ouzts had very little production as a tight end at Alabama over his few years as a starter, but was always a trusted blocker for the Tide. I had personally said leading up to the draft that I thought Ouzts was about 20 years too late to football, and he had the body type to be a legitimate fullback in the 2000s.

Well, the Seahawks immediately announced Ouzts as a fullback and not a tight end, so it seems they agree. They just fired offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and his Air Raid/Spread college offense and hired Clint Kubiak, who ran an offense with the New Orleans Saints (and the 49ers before that) that actually did regularly use a fullback, so the Seahawks are likely looking at Ouzts to be a day 1 starter at a new position for them.

Roll Tide, Robbie, and may you carve out a long NFL career in a position that didn’t exist in the college game!
