Canadian police are searching for two suspects in connection with a mass stabbing attack in Saskatchewan that left at least 10 dead and around 15 more injured.
By 6 a.m. Sunday, the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a number of calls reporting a series of stabbings on the James Smith Cree Nation and issued shelter-in-place warnings to residents of the indigenous community and surrounding areas, the RCMP said in a press conference.
“At this point in our investigation, we have located 10 deceased individuals and are investigating 13 locations in the communities of the James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon in Saskatchewan,” RCMP Saskatchewan Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore added in a statement.
15 additional victims were transported to various hospitals Sunday, and more may have taken themselves for medical treatment throughout the day, according to the RCMP.
Authorities on Sunday named the two suspects, who police across Canada are still looking for, as Damien Sanderson and Miles Sanderson.
“Let me be clear, we are still looking for the two suspects. We are asking residents across Saskatchewan and our neighboring provinces to be vigilant,” Blackmore said Sunday. “At this stage in our investigation, we believe some of the victims have been targeted by the suspects and others have been attacked randomly.”
“If they are listening, I would like to ask them to turn themselves in to police,” Blackmore added during the news conference.
Authorities say that Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, are believed to be armed and dangerous and they think the pair are traveling in a black Nissan Rogue SUV. The RCMP issued an alert noting that the vehicle was spotted in Regina, Saskatchewan, just after 12:00 p.m. Sunday.
“At this point, we don’t know if they have changed vehicle since this morning,” Blackmore said Sunday. “Their location and direction of travel are unknown. This is why we need everyone in the province to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity by calling 911 immediately.”
“The Government of Canada has been in direct communication with the James Smith Cree Nation community leadership and we are ready to help in any way we can,” Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement on Sunday. “Those responsible for today’s abhorrent attacks must be fully brought to justice.”
“To James Smith Cree Nation and the people of Saskatchewan: You are in our thoughts,” Trudeau added. “We are here to support you during this difficult time.”
The James Smith Cree Nation on Sunday declared a state of emergency as it responded to “the numerous murders and assaults” on members of its community and set up two emergency operations centers.
The RCMP on Sunday identified at least 13 different locations where stabbings took place in the James Smith Cree Nation and neighboring Weldon, Saskatchewan.
Well, right there is proof that gun laws work. Almost all guns are banned in Canada, and not one of those victims was shot.
Bullshit,you want an assault rifle join the service.. If that was true why did they do away with beginners in the service?
I agree… people will kill people with whatever they can. Guns are not evil, people are!
I think knives are more deadly then gun’s. One reason is you will never hear a stab or who did it
People without a sense of right or wrong since God’s rules don’t matter to many people on the extreme left anymore.
A death is a death no matter gun, knife or anything else.
Well at least it wasn’t a white Canadian farmer.
Ce ne sont pas des armes à feu, des couteaux ou toute autre arme.C’est nos jeunes hommes et wemon. On leur enseigne que la violence est le premier choix pour leurs problèmes. Nous devons revenir aux anciennes méthodes, le RESPECT des leurs, le respect d’eux-mêmes. C’est notre façon de faire. Voie crie
What,
This guy didn’t use a gun? I guess we need to band all of the knives.
Get a flamethrower, they considered as an agricultural tool and are legal in 99% of places.
Guaranteed to get your target, but the over spray can be a bit to deal with…. Also great for poison ivy and ANTIFA / BLM crowds, there the over spray is considered a plus.
Collateral Damage. It’s Ok, look at Russia and how they have dealt with Ukraine. Even my USA and Agent Orange in Viet Nam. No biggie, it’s just a part of “doing business”…
Lets Ban Knives Now. Maybe hold Ginsu Responsible. Or The Steel Industry. They must be at fault like the gun manefacturers are when there is a shooting. Maybe Bobby Flay since he uses knives on a daily basis. Ot Better yet Get rid of the Cooking Channel!!!
FCUKING idiots
Did all of you received a degree in idiocracy? You all seem so well versed in it.
We are studying. This was a practice exam.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
I have no idea what point you are trying to make . And i don’t think anyone else is all that sure either . First the rifles like the AR-15 are not so called Assault rifles and never have been . nor has any AR15 been used in the military . And i am sure if they had i would have known having served from 1 mar 1972 to 27 Sept 2008 . And what beginners are you talking about . Everyone that enters the Service is a beginner .
Well Said!
