Canadian police are asking residents to 'stay at home and lock their doors' following a mass stabbing in the Saskatchewan province. Editor of the Prince Albert Daily Herald, Jason Kerr, adds that affected areas have declared a state of emergency.
"This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities," said Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. The group represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan.The incident, which ranks among the deadliest mass killings in modern Canadian history, is certain to reverberate throughout the country, which is unaccustomed to bouts of mass violence more commonly seen across the southern border in the United States.
Mark Oddan, ambulance service spokesman, said two helicopters were dispatched from nearby Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and another from Regina, following the stabbings at the indigenous community of James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon."Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence. Do not approach suspicious persons. Do not pick up hitch-hikers," police said.
The search area was crowded as fans had descended on nearby Regina for a sold-out bank holiday Canadian Football League game. One of the teams scheduled to play, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, said additional security and law enforcement officers had been deployed to the game's venue, the Mosaic Stadium.
The Regina Police Service said with the help of the Mounties, they were working on several fronts to arrest the suspects and had"deployed additional resources for public safety throughout the city, including the football game".
