Ten people have been killed after a spate of stabbings in 13 locations in two communities in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Police were searching for two suspects.
Fifteen people had been taken to hospital after stabbings in multiple locations on Sunday in the Indigenous community of James Smith Cree Nation as well as in the village of Weldon, north-east of Saskatoon, police said.
Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the attackers but others appear to have been stabbed at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.
Police said the last information they had from the public was that the suspects were sighted in Saskatchewan’s capital of Regina around lunchtime. There have been no sightings since.
Authorities in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan are searching for Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson, after the two allegedly conducted the massacre in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon.
