Gatekeepers News reports that police have sent a dangerous person alert to all mobile phones across the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta – an enormous region almost half the size of Europe.
Police confirmed that at least 10 people have been killed and another 15 injured in the stabbings.
The victims were found in 13 locations in the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby village of Weldon.
Police said two suspects named as Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson are on the run and considered armed and dangerous.
Meanwhile, residents have been told to shelter in place, as a massive manhunt continues across a huge geographical area.
Saskatchewan Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) tweeted, “Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence.”
Also, checkpoints have been set up, with police checking travellers’ identification, and drivers have been urged not to pick up hitchhikers.
In addition, a state of emergency has been declared in the James Smith Cree Nation – an indigenous community with about 2,000 residents north-east of Weldon, where about 200 people live.
It is one of the deadliest acts of mass violence Canada has ever seen.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Twitter, described the attack as “horrific and heartbreaking.”
In a separate statement, Trudeau said “I am shocked and devastated by the horrific attacks today,… Those responsible for today’s abhorrent attacks must be fully brought to justice.”
Police at a news briefing on Sunday evening, said there could be more injured people than the 15 they already knew about, who had taken themselves to hospital.
Commanding Officer for Saskatchewan RCM, Rhonda Blackmore said that some people may have been targeted by the two suspects, while others are believed to have been “attacked randomly”.
The relationship between Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, is unclear, and the authorities have so far provided no further details.
