Serious incident in Canada. 10 dead and 15 injured. Two suspects, still at large.

At least 10 people have been killed and another 15 injured in a stabbing rampage in Canada's central Saskatchewan province, police say.

The victims were found in 13 locations, including in James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon.

Two suspects that police identified as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30 are on the run and considered armed and dangerous.

Residents have been told to shelter in place under a dangerous person alert.

"Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence," Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Saskatchewan said, urging residents not to pick up hitchhikers.

"The suspects may be in black Nissan Rogue [vehicle]," the police said, warning anyone who sees the men or the car to stay away and call police.

At news briefing later on Sunday, Saskatchewan RCMP's commanding officer Rhonda Blackmore warned that there could be more injured people who had taken themselves to hospital.

She said that some people may have been targeted by the two men, while others were "attacked randomly".

Ms Blackmore revealed that the first report about a stabbing was received by emergency services at 05:40 local time on Sunday (11:40 GMT) in the provincial capital city of Regina. This was quickly followed by more calls.

An initial local alert has now been expanded to cover the entire province and James Smith Cree Nation has issued a state of emergency.

"Their location and direction of travel is unknown. This is why we need everyone in the province to stay vigilant," Ms Blackmore told the media.

Terrifying. The killers are still on the loose. Hopefully, they're caught soon.

Police in Canada have arrested the suspect in a mass stabbing that left 10 people dead and 18 others injured.

Myles Sanderson's capture ends a manhunt that spanned three provinces and prompted questions about why he was granted prison parole despite a history of violence.

Police said he was taken into custody in the town of Rosthern, Saskatchewan, at around 15:30 local time (21:30 GMT).

News of the suspect's capture came soon after an alert was sent to Canadian mobile phone users on Wednesday afternoon warning people near the town of Wakaw to "seek immediate shelter/shelter in place" because a man armed with a knife had been seen driving in the area.

Apparently Myles Sanderson is dead too. Reports say he died from self inflicted wounds after his arrest.
