Stabbing spree in Canada leaves at least 10 dead and 15 injured

Two suspects went on a stabbing spree in Canada that left at least ten people dead and 15 others injured in a sparsely populated indigenous community on Sunday. Police are looking for the suspects.

The victims were found in at least 13 locations near the village of Weldon in the James Smith Cree Nation, an indigenous community with around 3,400 residents.

The elders of the nation declared the area to be under a state of emergency "in response to the numerous murders and assaults on members of the James Smith Cree Nation." Residents have been told to shelter in place and the nation created two emergency operation centers.

Police identified the two suspects as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30. Authorities provided photos and descriptions of the two men. However, no further information about their motive or the victims has been released.

"It appears that some of the victims may have been targeted, and some may be random. So to speak to a motive would be extremely difficult at this point in time," Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said at a press conference.

There might be additional victims who might have transported themselves to several hospitals. Police are urging probable victims to contact them.

The two suspects were last seen traveling in a black Nissan Rogue near the city of Regina, about 200 miles (320 km) south of the attacks, the police said.

"They are considered armed and dangerous... If you see the suspects or their vehicle, do not approach them, immediately leave the area and call 911," Blackmore said.

The stabbing was one of the deadliest mass killings that have taken place in Canada’s modern history.

"I am shocked and devastated by the horrific attacks today," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement. "As Canadians, we mourn with everyone affected by this tragic violence, and with the people of Saskatchewan."
