STORY: The stabbings at 13 crime scenes are among the deadliest mass murders in modern Canadian history and are sure to reverberate across the country, which is unaccustomed to the mass violence more common in the United States.
Police named the two suspects as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, and provided photos and descriptions but gave no further details about the motive or the victims.
The two men were seen traveling in a black Nissan Rogue and were seen in the city of Regina, about 200 miles (320 km) south of the attacks on the James Smith Cree Nation and the town of Weldon, police said.
The James Smith Cree Nation is an indigenous community with a population of approximately 3,400 people who are primarily engaged in farming, hunting, and fishing. Weldon is a town of about 200 people.
