The RCMP say 10 people are dead, and there are at least 15 people injured in a stabbing spree that has left multiple victims across numerous crime scenes.
Police were first alerted about a stabbing on the James Smith Cree Nation, east of Prince Albert just after 5 am. Within a few minutes, there were other calls about other victims in other locations, including the town of Weldon a few kilometres south of the first nation.
At 7:57 am a “Dangerous Person” alert went out as police tried to find the suspects, Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson. Damien is 5 foot 7 and 155 lbs with black hair, brown eyes. Myles is 6 foot 1 and 240 lbs with brown hair and eyes. Half an hour later that alert included the entire province.
Then around lunchtime, Sunday, Police received a report from a driver, claiming to have seen the suspect’s vehicle, a black Nissan Rogue with Saskatchewan Tag 119 MPI.
An alert went out to people in Regina, something that became more problematic with the Roughriders entertaining a sell out crowd for the Labour Day Classic.
Regina Police already have a good presence at football games, but more officers were added both in uniform, and in plain clothes. The Roughriders were taking extra security precautions as well.
People are asked to be vigilant and careful. If you spot the suspects, or their vehicle DO NOT approach them. Call 9-1-1 immediately.
“Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, friends and communities.” said RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, the commander of the RCMP in Saskatchewan.
” It is horrific what has happened in our province. Know that the Saskatchewan RCMP are committed and will use every resource we have to locate, and arrest these individuals.
