OTTAWA, Sept 4 (Reuters) – Canadian police said on Sunday they were searching for two suspects believed to have killed 10 people and injured at least 15 others in stabbings in Saskatchewan province. Police named Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson as 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 dangerous person alert across the province.

The attacks took place in several locations, including the James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon in Saskatchewan, and there were 13 crime scenes police were investigating, RCMP in Saskatchewan said. Police said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects, while others were attacked at random. There may be additional injured people who were taken to various hospitals, police told reporters at a news conference. A spokesperson for the Saskatchewan Health Authority said in a statement that the department has requested additional staff to help deal with the situation.
