Canadian authorities are hunting for two suspects in mass stabbing that left 10 dead and 15 injured.

 

  A manhunt is underway in Canada for two "armed and dangerous" men who are suspects in a mass stabbing Sunday that left at least 10 dead and 15 injured at multiple scenes in an Indigenous community and the surrounding area in Saskatchewan, authorities say.
The suspects, identified by police as Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson, are believed to be traveling in a black Nissan Rogue with Saskatchewan license plate 119 MPI, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said, noting it's unclear whether the pair may have changed vehicles.
Leaders of the James Smith Cree Nation declared a state of emergency Sunday in response to "numerous murders and assaults" on members of the community, according to a news release. At least one attack also occurred in the neighboring community of Weldon, police said.

"It is certainly a very significant event if not the largest we've seen in the last number of years," Assistant Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Rhonda Blackmore said.
Some victims appear to have been targeted, while others are believed to have been attacked randomly, police said.
Authorities are urging residents in the area to be vigilant and take precautions, including sheltering in place in some communities, as the suspects are still at large. The police issued a "civil emergency" alert warning those in the Regina area to be especially careful after police received a report the suspects may have been traveling there.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he is "shocked and devastated" by the violent attacks.
"As Canadians, we mourn with everyone affected by this tragic violence, and with the people of Saskatchewan. We also wish a full and quick recovery to those injured," Trudeau said in a statement Sunday evening.
