Canadian Prime Justin Trudeau called a mass stabbing that left at least 10 people dead and 15 wounded in Saskatchewan province on Sunday (September 4) "horrific and heartbreaking," Reuters reports.
Canadian police on Sunday said they were on the hunt for two suspects believed to have killed 10 people and wounded at least 15 others in stabbings in the Saskatchewan province.
Saskatchewan Premier, Scott Moe, also posted on Twitter that the attack was "senseless violence".
Police named Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson as the two suspects and said they were traveling in a black Nissan Rogue.
The stabbings were reported early in the morning, and at 8:20 a.m. local time police issued a province-wide dangerous persons alert. By the afternoon, similar alerts were also issued in Saskatchewan's neighboring provinces Alberta and Manitoba.
Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer of the Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said that authorities did not know if they had changed vehicles.
The stabbings were certain to reverberate throughout Canada, which is unaccustomed to bouts of mass violence more commonly seen across the southern border in the United States.
