Saskatchewan stabbing suspect Damien Sanderson has died, but his brother Miles is still at large and may be injured and require medical attention, police say. Both men have been named by police in connection with the violence that left 10 dead and 18 others injured in stabbings at 13 locations across the province of Saskatchewan, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Damien Sanderson’s injuries did not appear to be self-inflicted, according to RCMP. “It’s horrific what happened in our province today,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore said at a news conference Sunday. Police said the victims were a mix of those chosen at random and some specifically targeted. Damien and Myles Sanderson were driving a black Nissan Rogue with Saskatchewan license plate 119 MPI. In a briefing on Monday morning, Police Chief Evan Bray said officers are “confident” someone out there knows where the two suspects are and appealed to them to come forward with any information. “We will not stop this investigation until we have these two safely detained,” he said in a message on Twitter. Residents of the Saskatchewan village of Weldon identified 77-year-old Wes Petterson as one of the victims, while Lana Head, a mother of two, was identified as another of the victims by her ex-partner.
