Their motive remains unclear but police sources said the attacks could be “drug-related”. Helicopters and hundreds of police were involved in one of the biggest manhunts in Canadian history, with the men thought to have gone on the run in a black Nissan Rogue SUV. The shocking rampage began at around 5.40am local time on Sunday – 11.40am in the UK. Dead and wounded victims were found in 13 different places. Police said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects – but others were attacked at random. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore could not provide a motive for the killers. But the chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations gave a statement suggesting the stabbings could be drug-related. Chief Bobby Cameron said: “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.” Three medical helicopters were dispatched – two from the province’s largest city Saskatoon and one from Regina – to assist with first response efforts. Among the ten victims were mum-of-two Lana Head and Wes Petterson, a widower who lived with his grandson in Weldon.
