At least 10 killed, 15 hurt in Canada mass stabbings

ISTANBUL (AA) – At least 10 people have been killed and 15 more injured in a series of stabbings in Canada’s central Saskatchewan province, police said on Sunday.

Two suspects – Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30 – are still at large, according to Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The victims were found at 13 locations, including in James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon.

“There may be additional injured victims who transported themselves to various hospitals,” Blackmore said in a news conference, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported.

She said the two suspects “are believed to be in a black Nissan Rogue” but they may have changed their vehicle and their “direction of travel is unknown.”

“At this stage in our investigation, we believe some victims have been targeted by the suspect and others have been attacked randomly,” said Blackmore.

Alerts have been issued in Saskatchewan and the neighboring provinces of Alberta and Manitoba, with people advised “to take precautions and consider sheltering in place.”
