Video After The Jump
WELDON, Saskatchewan, Sept 5 (Reuters) - 2 men suspected of killing 10 people in a stabbing rampage that devastated an indigenous community in Canada were still at large on Monday as police tried to determine a motive for attacks that shocked a nation where mass violence is rare.
Police launched a manhunt for Damien Sanderson, 31, & Myles Sanderson, 30, after they allegedly stabbed people in 13 different areas across an indigenous community & its surrounding province on Sunday. At least 15 others were wounded.
The attacks in Saskatchewan province were among the deadliest in Canada's modern history. A statement by indigenous leaders indicated they may have been drug-related. Police said some of the victims appeared to have been targeted, while others were apparently random.
Indigenous people account for less than 5% of Canada's population of about 38 million and suffer from higher levels of poverty and unemployment than other Canadians and also have a shorter life expectancy.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government had been in direct communication with the James Smith Cree Nation leadership, adding, "we are ready to assist in any way we can."
