There were several knife attacks in the province of Saskatchewan on Sunday. At least ten people were killed and 15 more injured, the police said.
According to the information, the dead were discovered at 13 different locations in the Indian reserve "James Smith Cree Nation" and in the village of Weldon.
The first emergency call was received in the morning at 5.40 a.m.; further attacks from crime scenes were reported in the following minutes. Shortly after 7 a.m., the police issued a first warning to the population.
Four hours later, the two suspects are said to have been seen in the provincial capital Regina, almost 300 kilometers further south.
Brisant: The perpetrators are still on the run; the danger is not banned! The police searched with photos of two suspects with the same last name. Accordingly, it should be Damien and Myles Sanderson. They may be in a black Nissan Rogue.

The police were initially unable to make a statement about a motif. "It seems that some of the victims were targeted, and some were chosen randomly," said policewoman Rhonda Blackmore. "Therefore, it would be tough to name a motif at the moment."
The hospitals in the crime scene area prepared for an influx of injuries.
The police warned people in the area of Regina: “Avoid shelter. Don't leave a safe place. Do not approach suspects. Do not hitchhike. "
The victims were attacked in two communities in Saskatchewan, reported Canadian media.
The police are looking for the two male suspects in this province and the adjacent provinces of Manitoba and Alberta. The area of these three provinces in the middle of Canada covers a vast area.
"At the moment, we have no evidence that they traveled to another province, but since they are in a vehicle, we cannot say where they are with 100 % certainty," said Blackmore.
Additional forces in the small town of Regina were also ordered for a game in a football stadium.
The Prime Minister of the Province expressed his condolences on the name of his government. "All of Saskatchewan mourns the sacrifices and their relatives," wrote Scott Moe (49) from the conservative Saskatchewan Party.
