At least ten people are dead with another 15 wounded in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan following a series of stabbings.

Report suspicious persons, emergencies or info to 9-1-1. “Do not reveal police locations,” Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), stated on Twitter.

Weldon resident Doreen Lees, an 89-year-old grandmother, told reporters that she and her daughter may have seen the suspects driving down the street in the early morning when a man approached her daughter on her front porch saying he was hurt and needed help. According to reports, the man fled just after Doreen Lees said that she would call 911 for help.

“He didn’t want to show his face. His face was covered with a large jacket. Lees explained USA Today that he had mumbled his name two times and couldn’t remember his name. He said that his face had been so badly injured that he could not show it .”

” I followed him for a while to check if it was OK. Lees said that he should get back to where he came from.
