Two brothers Myles and Damien Sanderson are suspected of the mass stabbing in Saskatchewan, Canada. There are ten dead and eighteen injured from the mass stabbing.
Damien Sanderson was found dead on Monday morning and there is a manhunt for Myles Sanderson.
“As the whereabouts of Myles Sanderson remain unknown, the emergency alert is active for the entire province and we continue to urge the public to take appropriate precautions,” RCMP Saskatchewan tweeted Tuesday.
The potential sighting comes two days after a spree of violence that spanned 13 crime scenes in an Indigenous community and a nearby rural village, according to authorities.
Less than three hours after the first attack was reported, authorities identified the suspects as Sanderson, 30, and his brother Damien Sanderson.His injuries were not believed to be self-inflicted, said Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, adding that the exact cause of death would be determined by the Saskatchewan coroner’s office.
Even though he is still on the run, Myles Sanderson has been charged with breaking and entering, attempted murder, and first-degree murder. He is said to be “armed and dangerous.” Police believe that Myles Sanderson is injured and may pursue medical help.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority released a statement on Tuesday regarding the patients they’re treating:
“Three patients are in critical condition, seven are in stable condition and, since Sunday, seven individuals have been discharged,” the agency said in a statement Tuesday, adding “SHA numbers may differ slightly from other agencies as we only track and report on admissions to hospitals.”
Let’s not forget the victims of this event. Their life was taken from someone who was given a statutory release in February of this year. This decision is from the Parole Board of Canada.
The board said in the ruling that it didn’t believe Sanderson would present a risk to the public if released.
“It is the Board’s opinion that you will not present an undue risk to society if released on statutory release and that your release will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating your reintegration into society as a law-abiding citizen,” the decision reads.
The decision did note his long criminal history and that he was assessed by a psychologist for a “moderate risk of violence.”
“Your criminal history is very concerning, including the use of violence and weapons related to your index offences, and your history of domestic violence which victimized family, including your children, and non-family,” the decision states.
“You are assessed as a moderate risk of violence and domestic violence by the psychologist. While your behaviour in custody has not demonstrated significant concerns, there have been some minor incidents. …”
