Canadian police have launched a massive manhunt for two men suspected of stabbing at least 10 people in attacks that rocked the country, reports with the BBC.

Two suspects named Damien Sanderson and Miles Sanderson are on the run and are believed to be armed and dangerous.

Victims were found at 13 locations in James Smith's remote Indigenous Cree community and near Weldon.

This is one of the deadliest acts of mass violence in Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it "heartbreaking". At least 15 people have been injured in a series of killings, with police urging residents to be extremely vigilant as they conduct searches in one of Canada's largest and most remote regions.

"I am shocked and devastated by today's horrific attacks," Trudeau said. “Those responsible for today’s heinous attacks must be brought fully to justice.”

As soon as the stab wounds became known, a danger alert was sent to all mobile phones in the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

A state of emergency was declared in the Cree community of James Smith. It has about 2000 inhabitants northeast of the village of Weldon, which has only 200 inhabitants.

“Do not leave a safe place. Be careful allowing others to enter your homes,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Saskatchewan (RCMP) warned people in the area.

Numerous checkpoints were set up and drivers were urged not to pick up hitchhikers.

Rhonda Blackmore, commander of Saskatchewan's RCMP, said some people may have been targeted while others were "randomly attacked".

According to Officer Blackmore, the suspects were last seen in Regina around noon on September 4, and they may be traveling in a black Nissan Rogue.

The relationship between Damien Sanderson, 31, and Miles Sanderson, 30, is unclear, and authorities have yet to provide any details. But in May, the Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers issued a wanted notice for Miles Sanderson, accusing him of being "illegally at large" in the region.

At a September 4 evening briefing, police said there could be as many as 15 injured. Police declined to speculate on a motive for the attack, but Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Peoples head Bobby Cameron suggested it could be drug-related.

“This is the devastation we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities and we demand that all authorities follow the guidance of the chiefs and councils and their members to create safer and healthier communities for our people,” Cameron said.

The first emergency call came to the police at 05:40 local time on September 4 in the morning in the provincial capital of Regina, about 280 km south of Weldon. Many more calls for help soon followed, which escalated into what the police called a "fast-moving event."

Ann Lindemann, a spokeswoman for the Saskatchewan Health Authority, told local media that additional staff had been called in to deal with the "influx of casualties".

"They are considered armed and dangerous... If you see the suspects or their vehicle, do not approach them, leave the area immediately and call 911," she said.

Logan Stein, a local journalist, said the region is very remote. He said that the criminals went from house to house, attacking local residents.

“They were our relatives and friends. We're all basically relatives here, so it's quite difficult and painful,” said Sanderson, Chief of Chakastaypasin, one of the elected leaders leading the region. - It's horrible".

Weldon resident Diane Shire said her neighbor, a man who lived with his grandson, was killed. Another resident, Robert Rush, described the neighbor as a kindly widowed man in his 70s.

"He wouldn't hurt a fly," Rush said.

Another victim was mother-of-two Lana Head. Her former partner Michael Brett Burns told local media he was "hurt by this loss".
