Ten dead, fifteen wounded. This is the dramatic toll of several knife attacks in Canada in some locations in the province of Saskatchewan.
Two suspects are wanted by the police. These are Damien Sanderson, 31, and Myles Sanderson, 30, both with black hair and brown eyes, perhaps on the run in a black Nissan Rogue.
The alarm went off as thousands of fans arrived in Regina for a traditional sell-out football game for Labor Day between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The alleged killers were seen by witnesses as they fled by car, and the police also asked residents of the provinces of Alberta and Manitoba to stay indoors if possible.
The attacks took place in at least 13 different locations, most notably between James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, where local communities declared a state of emergency. Some victims appear to have been hit at random, others on purpose. But the motive remains unknown.
