Residents of Canada's Saskatchewan province were urged to stay cautious Tuesday as one of two suspects in Sunday's mass killing remained at large.
A sighting of Myles Sanderson, 30, was reported on the James Smith Cree Nation north of Melfort, but the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or RCMP, said he was nowhere to be found, and investigators didn't believe he was there Tuesday evening.
“As the whereabouts of Myles Sanderson remain unknown, the emergency alert is active for the entire province and we continue to urge the public to take appropriate precautions,” the RCMP said in a statement Tuesday.
The alert was issued after 10 people were killed and 17 were injured in one of the worst outbreaks of violence in Saskatchewan history. The victims, some of whom have been identified, were found on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, authorities said.
On Monday, Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, the commanding officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, said at a news conference that the cause of death hadn’t been established.
