RCMP in Saskatchewan have issued a provincewide alert on Sunday, saying two suspects are on the loose after multiple stabbings in locations including James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon.

Police first put out the dangerous persons alert just after 7 a.m., instructing people in the Melfort area to seek shelter and avoid leaving their homes.
Police are searching for Damien Sanderson, described as 5’7“ and 155 pounds, and Myles Sanderson, 6’1” and 200 pounds, who both have black hair and brown eyes.
The RCMP says the pair may be travelling in a black Nissan Rogue with the licence plate 119 MPI.
