REGINA, Saskatchewan — A series of stabbings at a First Nation community and in another nearby town in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, Canadian police said Sunday as they searched for two suspects. The stabbings took place in multiple locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, police said. There were 13 crime scenes, according to authorities. Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn't provide a motive. "It is horrific what has occurred in our province today," Blackmore said. The suspects were last sighted in Saskatchewan's capital of Regina around lunchtime, police said. "If in the Regina area, take precautions & consider sheltering in place. Do not leave a secure location. DO NOT APPROACH suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch hikers. Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. Do not disclose police locations," the RCMP said in a message on Twitter. Doreen Lees, an 89-year grandmother from Weldon, said she and her daughter thought they saw one of the suspects when a car came barreling down her street early in the morning as her daughter was having coffee on her deck. Lees said a man approached them and said he was hurt and needed help. But Lees said the man took off and ran after her daughter said she would call for help. “He wouldn’t show his face. He had a big jacket over his face. We asked his name and he kind of mumbled his name twice and we still couldn’t get it,” she said. “He said his face was injured so bad he couldn’t show it.” She said the man was by himself and "kind a little wobbly.” “I followed him a little ways to see if he was going to be OK. My daughter said ‘Don’t follow him, get back here.’” The search for suspects was carried out as fans descended in Regina for a sold-out annual Labor Day game between the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Regina Police Service said in a news release that with the help of Mounties, it was working on several fronts to locate and arrest the suspects and had "deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game at Mosaic Stadium." The alert first issued in Saskatchewan was later extended to cover Manitoba and Alberta as the two suspects remained at-large. Damien Sanderson, 31, was described as 5-foot-7 and 155 pounds, and Myles Sanderson, 30, as 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds. Both have black hair and brown eyes and may be driving a black Nissan Rogue. “The attacks in Saskatchewan today are horrific and heartbreaking. I’m thinking of those who have lost a loved one and of those who were injured,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted. “We are closely monitoring the situation, and urge everyone to follow updates from local authorities. Thank you to all the brave first responders for their efforts on the ground.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...bbing-attacks-saskatchewan-regina/7994543001/
I read about this today..horrible killing spree amongst the Cree people. Sad to hear...hope they catch these guys soon because they are monsters.
If this has been a gun, this would already be a 2 to 3 page thread about guns. Instead there's like 3 posts total.
If these two guys walked up to you on the street, you'd be just as dead as if they shot you. No sound. They could just walk away.
I’d take my chances against somebody with a knife over gun eight days a week. In the Army My partner and I disarmed 3 or 4 guys with knives no problem.…. Now had they had a gun, somebody would have been dead.
People with knives or guns will typically not be targeting trained military personnel. They will be targeting untrained/undefended targets. Motivated people who want to kill random people will kill people. These people are the problem. Not the tools they have access to.
But some tools do kill more efficiently than others. Yeah, I could kill someone with a cast iron skillet. Crack their skull. I could kill a lot more with assault rifle.
Luckily assault rifles aren't legal to own in the US or Canada. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle
Have they caught these bastards yet? Not a great time to be playing 'gotcha' if they're still on the loose. Whatever weapon(s) they have they are obviously dangerous.
Absolutely. Dangerous people are dangerous. Regardless of what weapons are available to them. Here's hoping they get these bastards quick and nobody else is hurt in the process.
