JAMES CREE FIRST NATION - A stabbing rampage in a southeastern Saskatchewan First Nation and nearby village left 10 people dead and 15 others injured, provincial RCMP said on Sunday as they continued to search for the two suspects in the case.
“We believe some of the victims have been targeted by the suspects and others have been attacked randomly,” Rhonda Blackmore, the assistant commissioner in charge of Saskatchewan RCMP, told reporters in Regina.
“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today.”
Blackmore said the 15 injured were taken to hospital but there may be more who sought medical help on their own.
The attacks took place at 13 different locations on the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, she said.
