“Canadian stabbing rampage results in 10 dead and 15 injured.”
In Canada’s Saskatchewan province, a stabbing spree on Sunday left at least 10 people dead and 15 injured, according to police, who also announced the start of a manhunt for two suspects.
According to Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, officers responding to emergency calls discovered 10 bodies in the rural Indigenous settlement of James Smith Cree Nation and the neighbouring town of Weldon, Saskatchewan.
She claimed that at least 15 further people had been hurt and sent to hospitals.She continued, “We are actively hunting for the two suspects.”Myles and Damien Sanderson, brothers with dark hair and brown eyes who are ages 30 and 31, respectively, have been identified as the suspected attackers. They escaped in a car.
A local state of emergency was declared by the 2,500-person James Smith Cree Nation, and many Saskatchewan residents were advised to stay indoors.In a tweet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the attacks as “horrific and sad,” expressed his condolences, and urged locals to follow police instructions.
Authorities, according to Blackmore, “think that some of the victims were specifically targeted by the perpetrators while others were attacked at random.”
It would be very difficult at this moment, she continued, to discuss a motivation.A man who lived with his grandson, according to Weldon resident Diane Shier, was killed in the attack.She told the Canadian Press, “I lost a good neighbour, and I am really saddened.
