The sound of emergency alerts are occasionally ringing on mobile phones in Regina, warning of "two adult male suspects" who "continue to be at large".

Apart from that the city is quiet, with many shops shuttered for the long Labour Day weekend.

Some families have gathered in Victoria Park, in the city's centre, to enjoy the final days of summer.

Craig and Brenda, sitting in lawn chairs in the shade, called what happened a "sad situation".

"I've been staying home, but I ventured out today," said Brenda, "I thought we'd be safe to do so. I thought I'd be ok here."

Sitting nearby, Deena Arthur called the attacks "horrific" and said it must be devastating for the families of those killed. "It's on everyone's mind."

She said she hoped the two men are apprehended without being hurt - peacefully.

"They're not monsters, they're people," she said. "Something has happened to them to make this happen."

She said the alerts that have been sent by police are good but is concerned that it makes people afraid who don't need to be.

A mother and daughter living in Weldon, around 30 km (19 miles) from James Smith Cree Nation, have told reporters about an unusual encounter they had with an unknown man outside their home early on Sunday morning.

Doreen Lees, 89, says a man with a covered face, who claimed to be injured, approached her and her adult daughter while they were sitting on the front porch, shortly after a dark-coloured SUV had zoomed by their house at unusual speed.

"He said, 'I need somebody to take me to the hospital. My mouth has been hurt - I've been stabbed," the witness told Canadian outlet CBC.

But after refusing to show them his injuries Doreen's daughter went inside to call the police - and the unidentified man reportedly fled.

It is not clear if there is any connection between the unknown individual and the stabbing attacks that occurred nearby.

Police say they are still searching for the two men and have now issued arrest warrants for both of them. But what do we know about the pair?

• Police have charged suspects Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, and say they were last seen in the city of Regina, which is more than 185 miles (300km) south of the first attack
• Police believe the pair - who they called "armed and dangerous" - may still be in Regina
• The relationship between the suspects is unknown, but police say they think some of the victims were targeted, while others were chosen at random
• Police have confirmed that they had already been searching for Myles Sanderson for more than three months
• In May 2022 the 30-year-old stopped meeting with his parole officer and since then has been classified as "unlawfully at large", CBC reports, external
• Police have refused to speculate on any possible motive, but Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations suggested that they could be drug related

The search for the two suspects has centred so far in the city of Regina, where the pair were last spotted over a day ago.

Since then, despite efforts throughout the night, the men are still at large.

For now, there are families in mourning and communities on edge.

The tragic attacks are splashed across newspaper headlines, on what would usually be a quiet long weekend across the country, marking the unofficial end of summer across the country.

Michelle, who is travelling through Regina and originally from the Prairies, had stopped to take a break on a park bench.

She told me that the events leave her feeling like her “stomach is in knots”.

But she says she trusts that the authorities will catch the two men - “they know the province inside out” - and is hopeful that there will be an opportunity for healing amid the trauma.

But she still wonders how something like this could happen in Canada.

Some comments now from Rhonda Blackmore, commanding officer for Saskatchewan's Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who has been trying to reassure local residents that the police are working hard to track down the two charged suspects.

"We are using every human, investigational and technological resource we have available to locate and arrest the persons responsible for this tragedy and to ensure your safety," she said.

Hundreds of police are working on this case, she emphasised.

As well as 911 operators and patrol officers, investigators include "on-scene specialised forensic and Major Crime Unit teams who continue to follow up on all information and evidence gathered".

Investigators have also updated the number of people known to have been injured in Sunday's stabbings to 18 - that's three more than previous official figures.

Police also confirmed that 10 people had died in the attacks, which means the current total death toll remains unchanged.

They say they expect to release more information about the victims later in the day.

Some more now from that police update, which confirms the two suspects are still wanted and that law enforcement officials are employing all resources to track both men down.

So far, the investigation has "determined the suspects may be in the city of Regina" in the province of Saskatchewan, police said in a statement, "but this has not been confirmed".

As a result, the investigation by Saskatchewan's Royal Canadian Mounted Police is being conducted in collaboration with the Regina Police Service, they said.

They did not give any information on the progress made in tracking down the two suspects, whom they described as "armed and dangerous".

Officials also warned those returning home to the area from weekends away to look for evidence of suspicious activities at or around their homes before entering.

An update just now from Saskatchewan's police, who have announced multiple charges against both suspects.

Both Myles Sanderson, 30, and Damien Sanderson, 31, have been charged with first degree murder.

Police say they are still working to locate the two men and have now formally issued warrants for their arrest.

As we reported earlier, flags are to be flown at half-mast on government buildings in the province of Saskatchewan, and now Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said the flag on the Peace Tower in Canada's capital, Ottawa, will be also be flown at half-mast today and tomorrow.

He says the gesture is in memory of the victims from Sunday's stabbing attacks and "in solidarity with everyone affected".

As we've been reporting, victims were found in 13 locations in the remote James Smith Cree Nation - an indigenous community of about 2,000 residents in Saskatchewan, itself one of Canada's largest and most remote regions.

It is about some 125 miles (200km) north-east of Saskatoon, the nearest major city, with its residents largely engaged in farming, hunting and fishing.

It takes its name from Chief James Smith, a brother of Chief John Smith who founded the Muskoday First Nation, and was officially established in 1876, external.

It is one of more than 630 First Nation Groups, external; indigenous people account for less than 5% of Canada's population of about 38 million, Reuters news agency reports.

Weldon, which is home to just 200 people, is a neighbouring village.

Although they are not common, Canada has seen mass killings in the past. Sunday's spate of attacks in the province of Saskatchewan, however, is already one of the deadliest instances of violence in the country.

Other recent incidents of mass violence in Canada include:

• April 2020: A gunman posing as a police officer goes on a 14-hour rampage across the province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people - making it the worst mass shooting in Canada's modern history
• April 2018: 10 people died after a Canadian man drove onto a packed pavement on a crowded Toronto street. The 29-year-old driver has since been sentenced to life in prison.

• January 2017: Six people are killed and another eight wounded in a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, which Canadian authorities described as an act of terrorism

• December 2014: A man kills eight people, including his wife, before killing himself. The police said the "senseless mass murder" was linked to "extreme domestic violence"

• April 1996: In British Columbia, a man kills nine relatives gathered for the wedding of his estranged wife’s sister before turning the gun on himself

• December 1989: A gunman kills 14 female students and wounds a dozen more at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal

Yesterday’s stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan, which killed 10 people and injured 15 others, has rocked the typically peaceful prairie province.

Many of the injured and deceased were residents of the remote James Smith Cree Nation in central Saskatchwan, leaving members of Canada’s indigenous community especially shaken.

Saskatchewan, a large, flat and quiet province, is home to just over one million residents, scattered in tight-knit communities over 250,000 square miles of land. Some 165,000 residents are indigenous.

Canada has struggled with violence against indigenous people for years, a struggle highlighted by the discovery last year of suspected mass grave sites of indigenous children. The discovery included 751 suspected graves in Saskatchewan.

Police have not yet indicated a motive but said they believe some victims were targeted, while others were random.

It's just after 09:40 in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada. Here's a summary of what we know so far, the day after 10 people were killed and 15 injured in a series of stabbing attacks there:

• Police are searching for two men in connection with Sunday's stabbings
• The attacks happened in the remote indigenous community of James Smith Cree Nation, and the nearby village of Weldon
• Victims were found in 13 locations
• Police have named the suspects as Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, and say they were last seen in Regina, which is more than 185 miles (300km) south of the first attack

• The relationship between the suspects is unknown, but police say they believe some of the victims were targeted, while others were random

• They were spotted driving a black Nissan Rogue, but police do not know if they are still using that vehicle

• The three provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta have been put on alert - an enormous region almost half the size of Europe - as police search for the suspects
• Details of the victims are still coming in. Among those killed was mother-of-two Lana Head, according to media reports

We'll bring you the latest as we learn more.

The police chief of Regina, the provincial capital of Saskatchewan, says the two suspects are still at large.

Evan Bray has posted a video on Twitter in which he calls on members of the public to come forward with information.

"We will not stop this investigation until we have those two safely in custody," he says.

"We know, we are confident, that someone out there knows the whereabouts of these two and has information that would be valuable to the police.

"I urge you to get in touch with your local police service."

Flags will be flown at half-mast on Saskatchewan's government buildings to commemorate the 10 victims of the attacks, the Canadian Press reports.

Flags will fly at half-mast for one day for each life lost, it adds.

No official details of the victims have been given, but Canadian media have identified some and interviewed friends and relatives.

"Mostly we're all related here, so it's pretty hard," Chakastaypasin Chief Calvin Sanderson - one of the elected leaders who head up the region - told the Regina Leader Post.

One of the victims has been named as mother of two Lana Head. Her former partner, Michael Brett Burns, told local media that he was "hurt for all this loss".

Another man who lived with his grandson was killed, according to Weldon resident Diane Shier who was speaking to the Globe and Mail newspaper.

He was described by another resident, Robert Rush, as a gentle, widowed man in his 70s.

"He wouldn't hurt a fly," Rush was quoted as saying.

The attacks happened at multiple locations in the province of Saskatchewan.

Authorities say they are investigating 13 crime scenes where victims were found.

Some victims were targeted in the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, north-east of Saskatoon.

Let's now take a look at some of the security measures in place as police search for the two men suspected of being responsible for the attacks.

As news of the stabbings broke, a dangerous person alert, external was sent to all mobile phones across the provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta - an enormous region almost half the size of Europe.

A state of emergency was declared in the James Smith Cree Nation, and people were told to stay inside.

"Do not leave a secure location. Use caution allowing others into your residence," one advisory said.

Numerous checkpoints have been set up and drivers have been urged not to pick up hitchhikers.

There has also been an increased security presence at hospitals in the area.

The leader of Saskatchewan's opposition party, the New Democratic Party's Carla Beck, has told the BBC how the incident has "shaken" the residents of a "tight-knit community".

"You can only imagine what it must be like to wake up to this kind of violence or even this kind of news," she says.

She adds there is an atmosphere of uncertainty while the two suspects remain at large.

“No-one in this town is ever going to sleep again. They’re going to be terrified to open their door,” Weldon resident Ruby Works told the Associated Press news agency.
