A manhunt was underway across three Canadian provinces and the toll of wounded rose to 18 Monday after a stabbing rampage that left 10 people dead in one of the bloodiest mass killings in Canadian history.
Emergency calls began coming into dispatchers at about 5:40 a.m. Sunday and kept coming. An alert that suspects were being sought was issued in Saskatchewan at about 7 a.m. and was extended hours later to Manitoba and Alberta.
Doreen Lees, 89, said she and her daughter were on their deck Sunday morning when they believe they saw one of the suspects. A car roared down their street and a man approached them and said he was hurt and needed help. "There is a lot of grief, there's a lot of anxiety in our province and in our communities this morning," Bray said.The RCMP's Blackmore revealed no motive for the attacks. Chief Bobby Cameron, of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, said the tragedy"is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities." Cameron urged all authorities to work to "create safer and healthier communities for our people.
