“Our hearts break for all those impacted,” said Bobby Cameron, Chief of FSIN in a statement. “This is the destruction we face when harmful illegal drugs invade our communities, and we demand all authorities to take direction from the Chiefs and Councils and their membership to create safer and healthier communities for our people.”

The two suspects are driving in a stolen black Nissan Rogue, according to officials.

A woman posted a photo on Facebook of the vehicle, writing in the caption: “This is my brothers [sic] vehicle that they took when they entered our home this morning in James Smith Cree Nation. We (can’t) care less about the vehicle but let these monsters be caught,” according to Sky News Canada.

Spiritwood RCMP is investigating reports of shots fired on Witchekan Lake First Nation, according to Sam Maciag of CBC.

“Several armed suspects at large, possibly on foot. At this time, it’s not believed to be connected to the James Smith Cree Nation investigation. People in the area told to stay inside,” Maciag tweeted.

ICYMI: On Sunday morning, two men are suspected of carrying out a series of deadly knife attacks in the northern Saskatchewan communities of James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon.

So far, police have said that at least 10 people were killed in the spate of stabbings while another 15 were said to have been injured, though authorities conceded that that figure could be higher as some people stabbed could’ve taken themselves to hospital without alerting first responders.

The manhunt for the two wanted men, Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, stretched overnight and well into Monday morning in the prairie province, with authorities stating that they believed the pair to be driving a black Nissan Rogue with the Saskatchewan license plate 119 MPI.

ICYMI: Chief Calvin Sanderson, Chakastaypasin Band, which is one of the communities that make up the James Smith Cree Nation, told the Saskatoon Star Phoenix that he had his cell phone off on Sunday, and was only alerted to the tragedy that had unfolded in his community when neighbours came to check in on him.

“Everyone’s been affected,” he told the local Saskatchewan news outlet.

“They were our relatives, friends. Mostly we’re all related here, so it’s pretty hard,” Mr Sanderson said. “It’s pretty horrific.”

Two men are suspected to have carried out a spate of stabbings across Saskatchewan in one of the deadliest mass killings in Canada’s history.

Myles Sanderson, 30, and Damien Sanderson, 31, were identified by police as the two suspects who they believe carried out a series of knife attacks at 13 different sites between James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, a small village that lies about 25km to the southeast of where the first attacks were reported.

Read everything we know about the suspects, who remain at large, so far:

The RCMP in Saskatchewan sent out another public safety alert to the province on Monday morning, noting that the two suspects wanted had now been issued arrest warrants.

“Myles Sanderson is charged with: three counts, first degree murder, Section 235(1), Criminal Code; one count, attempted murder, Section 239(b), Criminal Code; and one count, break and enter – residence, Section 348(1)(b), Criminal Code,” tweeted CBC reported Sam Maciag in an update on Monday.

“Damien Sanderson is charged with: one count, first degree murder, Section 235(1), Criminal Code; one count, attempted murder, Section 239(b), Criminal Code; and one count, break and enter – residence, Section 348(1)(b), Criminal Code,” Maciag added in a follow-up to the thread.

The number of victims injured in the spate has risen to 18, the reporter added.

One of the suspects wanted in connection with the deadly spate of stabbing attacks carried out on James Smith Cree Nation on Sunday morning had reportedly been previously known to law enforcement agencies, Reuters reported.

Myles Sanderson, 30, who is described as 6ft and 1in tall weighing approximately 240lbs with brown hair and brown eyes, was said to have been listed as “unlawfully at large” by Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers back in May.

The program is designed to work as an intermediary between the police and the public in an effort to find wanted persons.

No further details about why he was wanted were released by Crime Stoppers.

The Saskatchewan First Nations Veterans Association (SFNVA) confirmed on Facebook that one of their veterans, Earl Jones, was one of the victims killed in the brutal attacks carried out in two northern Saskatchewan communities on Sunday.

“The SFNVA is sending out our most sincere condolences to the Burns Family on the loss of our Veteran late Earl Burns,” the group wrote, noting that Burns had been a member of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.

“We would also send our thoughts and prayers to the community of James Smith and to the families of those affected. It is unknown at this time when we will know the details for funeral services. When the family advises us we will keep the page updated.”

His son, Earl Jones Jr, seemed to also confirm his father’s death in a post shared on Facebook, where numerous friends and relatives extended their condolences for his loss.

“My heart is broken so bad I still needed you,” wrote the son.

In comments below the post, the veteran was commemorated by friends and family members as being a kind and joyful person.

“I always loved your dad,” wrote one friend. “Growing up playing hockey I remember how he’d make me/us laugh.”

“You had one awesome dad,” wrote a friend named Linda-Marie Sanderson. “You my boy did absolutely good by him he was proud of you and you respected him.”

Regina Police Chief Evan Bray says that the entire province and communities throughout it continue to feel on edge on Monday morning, as the manhunt for the two suspects wanted in connection with the deadly stabbing on Sunday that left 10 people dead remain at large.

“There’s a lot of grief, there’s a lot of anxiety in our province and in our communities this morning and all day yesterday,” said Chief Bray in a video shared to his Twitter account.

“Really, I think an important step for families and communities working through this will be to bring these two safely into custody. And so again if anyone has any information I would urge you to reach out to your local police service and let us know,” he added in the early morning address.
