Officials found one suspect dead after mass Saskatchewan stabbings in Canada. The suspect Damien Sanderson and his brother Myles Sanderson stabbed and killed 10 and left 18 civilians injured. Police say that Myles is still a threat to the public and has a record of first degree murder. The attack took place in indigenous communities and surrounding areas. Some attacks were clearly targeted while others random.
The Saskatchewan stabbings have occurred in 13 separate locations according to local police. An overnight search took place to capture the suspects. Since then, police urged residents to “continue to remain vigilant until [the suspects] are located and arrested”.
Prime minister Justin Trudeau called the attacks “shocking and heartbreaking”. “The federal government will be there with the resources necessary right now in this time of crisis but also we’ll continue to work as partners in the weeks, months and years to come through grieving and healing,” Trudeau continued at the Ottawa airport.
