(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) A manhunt was launched Sunday in Canada for two suspects who went on a deadly rampage of mass knife attacks, killing 10 people and wounding at least 25.
The two suspects were identified as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, but law enforcement could not provide any motive for the killings, or how many of the victims were specifically targeted, reported BBC News.
Rhonda Blackmore, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Saskatchewan, told reporters that the stabbing spree unfolded across 13 locations in James Smith Cree Nation and the village of Weldon.
“We believe some of the victims have been targeted by the suspects, and others have been attacked randomly,” Blackmore said.
Suspects: Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson. Damien is 5 foot 7 and 155 lbs with black hair, brown eyes. Myles is 6 foot 1 and 240 lbs with brown hair and eyes. The suspects may be in black Nissan Rogue with SK license plate 119 MPI. This a rapidly-unfolding situation. pic.twitter.com/LeshXMR4sN

While the RCMP issued warnings for people to shelter in place and refrain from disclosing the locations of law enforcement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted his emotions.
The attacks in Saskatchewan today are horrific and heartbreaking. I’m thinking of those who have lost a loved one and of those who were injured.

That would be the same Trudeau who has vilified law-abiding gun owners, boasting that people “can’t use a gun for self-protection in Canada” and championing legislation for a national freeze on importing, buying or selling handguns.
“In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns,” the leftist gun-grabber declared.

The hypocrisy of Trudeau tweeting his emotional support for those impacted by the deadly stabbings, but banning guns as a legitimate means of self-defense did not go unnoticed.
If only if Canadian’s had the option to you know use a certain weapon let say a handgun or shotgun for home defense without being charged.

Ban all knives (Trudeau logic 🧠)

“Wow!!! Where were the ‘guns’ that made this happen???” wrote media personality Judge Joe Brown.
“What kind of AR-15 knife was it??” asked a gun rights supporter. A reply was equally biting, “Must have been using an assault knife. (Where there’s an evil will, there’s a way.) Evil is evil.

“When you want to deal with only the gun part of gun violence and don’t focus on the violence part, this is what happens,” wrote one critic of Trudeau’s draconian gun policies.
Gun control doesn’t work.
Canada prides itself in its strict gun bans, but evil people still do evil things.
This is tragic. Praying for all involved! https://t.co/FLYhsTiiBk
