Ottawa. A dozen people were killed in knife attacks in two remote Canadian communities on Sunday, police said, launching a manhunt across three provinces for two suspects.
“We found 10 dead individuals … in the community of James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Saskatchewan,” Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said. “Several additional victims were injured, 15 of whom were taken to various hospitals,” she added.
“We are actively searching for two suspects … and investigating the various crime scenes.”
The suspects were identified as Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson, aged 30 and 31 respectively, both with black hair and brown eyes. They are believed to have fled in a black Nissan Rogue, Blackmore said. Police agents were deployed “at full speed” to capture them.
“Today’s attacks in Saskatchewan are horrific and heartbreaking,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.
Blackmore said police received a call at 11:40 a.m. about a stabbing at the James Smith Cree Nation, quickly followed by several more calls reporting other attacks like this one.
The James Smith Cree Nation community, population 2,500, declared a local state of emergency. Saskatchewan residents were also asked to stay indoors for safety.
Weldon resident Diane Shier told the Canadian Press that her neighbor, who lived with her grandson, had been killed. “I am very affected because I have lost a good neighbor,” she said.
In Saskatchewan, an alert was issued as police responded to “multiple stabbings (at) multiple locations” in the Indian community and town of Weldon.
