Canadian police say multiple people are dead in 13 locations at two communities in Saskatchewan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cNo one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They\u2019re going to be terrified to open their door,\u201d said Weldon resident Ruby Works, who was close to one of the victims.<\/em><\/p>\nThe suspects were identified as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, but police gave few details about them. Last May, Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers issued a wanted list that included Myles Sanderson, writing that he was \u201cunlawfully at large.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nThe attack was among the deadliest mass killings in Canada, where such crimes are less common than in the United States. The deadliest gun rampage in Canadian history happened in 2020, when a man disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set fires across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people. In 2019, a man used a van to kill 10 pedestrians in Toronto.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cIt is horrific what has occurred in our province,\u201d said Rhonda Blackmore, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Saskatchewan.<\/em><\/p>\nPolice got their first call about a stabbing at 5:40 a.m. on Sunday, and within minutes heard about several more. In all, dead or wounded people were found at 13 different locations on the sparsely populated reserve and in the town, Blackmore said. James Smith Cree Nation is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from Weldon.<\/em><\/p>\nShe couldn\u2019t provide a motive, but the chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations suggested the stabbings could be drug-related.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThis is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities, and we demand all authorities to take direction from the chiefs and councils and their membership to create safer and healthier communities for our people,\u201d said Chief Bobby Cameron.<\/em><\/p>\nAs the manhunt stretched on while Canadians observed the Labor Day holiday, Regina Police Chief Evan Bray urged anyone with information to come forward.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThey have not been located, so efforts continue,\u201d Bray said in a video posted on Twitter on Monday morning. \u201cWe will not stop until we have those two safely in custody.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nThe night before, he said police believed the suspects were still in Regina but didn\u2019t say why.<\/em><\/p>\nThe elected leaders of the three communities that make up the James Smith Cree Nation declared a local state of emergency.<\/em><\/p>\nAt the James Smith Cree Nation, a convenience store that also serves as a gas station became a gathering place for community members who greeted each other with tears and hugs.<\/em><\/p>\nA sign on the door said: \u201cDue to safety concerns with our community we will remain closed until further notice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement he was \u201cshocked and devastated by the horrific attacks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAs Canadians, we mourn with everyone affected by this tragic violence, and with the people of Saskatchewan,\u201d Trudeau said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
