Oh no!!!!

WITCHEKAN LAKE FIRST NATION - Saskatchewan RCMP have issued a provincewide alert for several armed suspects on a First Nation northwest of Saskatoon.

They say there are reports of a shooting on the Witchekan Lake First Nation.

Residents are advised to stay inside and lock their doors.

Mounties say the suspects may be in a mid-2000s dark red Ford Mustang.

Mounties say the shooting is not believed to be connected to Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage on the James Smith Cree Nation and village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon.

Two suspects in those stabbings remain at large.

So, my understanding is the shooting incident is about a couple of hours away? I understand it probably is unrelated, but the comparative distance does make me wonder.

Moo.....very very small police presence up north, and not that welcome either. Wonder if it is related in some way? Moo

"First Nation" is a generic term for "reservation", of which there are over 600 in Canada. So we need to know which First Nation they are speaking about.

One suspect in Canadian mass stabbings found dead, another still on the run

Canadian police on Monday found one of the suspects in a mass stabbing spree dead while the other suspect, his brother, was still on the run and may be injured, officials said.

Here is a pic I took yesterday. Maybe it will help.



IMO First Nation refers to the indigenous people of Canada. What used to be referred to in the U.S. as native Americans.
IMO the 2 suspects were members of the Cree First Nation tribe/band & lived on the James Smith Cree Nation (aka reservation) just north of Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada.

It sounds like both of these guys got a taste of their own medicine. If they are saying Myles is injured, I highly doubt that's an uninformed guess. Good.

It’s all over Canada. The particular First Nation location has been posted upthread.

Moo... First Nation is an alternative word for native (i prefer First Nation) in this case they are speaking of FN band land or rez. Each band land has its own name..moo

Was it the brother with the badly injured face?
Perhaps he bled out.

So Regina is First Nation? I'm just trying to figure out how far away he was found from Regina, or if he was. Thanks.

I hope someone will come forward and claim self defence in the death of Damien Sanderson.

I'm wondering if it is that or they turned on each other. MOO

And the James Smith Cree Nation is where this all started.

There's a decent chance that whoever injured him is one of the victims themselves.

No, Regina is not considered First Nation, although there are many First Nations people living there, and the city acknowledges First Nations Territorial Treaty lands.

It is likely that Damien never left the community where the crimes were committed and never went to Regina.
