Shortly after, police vehicles left the scene and Myles Sanderson remained at large more than 48 hours after the stabbing attacks.
Ex-Mountie says hunt for stabbing suspect complicated by vast open space of Prairies
A former Mountie says the vast open spaces of the Prairies could complicate the manhunt for one of the suspects in Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan.
"This is a huge area, and there's a whole lot of nothing," said retired RCMP officer Sherry Benson-Podolchuk. "There's a lot of places people can hide."
Her comments come as police continue to search for 30-year-old Myles Sanderson. Police say he may be injured, is considered dangerous and should not be approached.
Past drug, alcohol use had caused stabbing suspect to lose mind: parole document
A fugitive wanted in a deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan has a nearly two-decade-long criminal record and a propensity for violence when intoxicated, a parole board document says.
The Parole Board of Canada document from February says Myles Sanderson told the board that regular use of drugs and hard alcohol would make him "lose (his) mind" and get angry.
“Your criminal history is very concerning, including the use of violence and weapons-related to your index offences, and your history of domestic violence,” said the document obtained by The Canadian Press.
Gardening: How to save vegetable seeds for next year
Many of the vegetables we grow in our gardens produce seeds, which, if harvested and stored correctly, have the potential to grace us with free plants. And late summer is the perfect time to start collecting them.
A few notes: Make sure the plants from which you’re collecting seeds are heirloom, or open-pollinated, varieties. These are plants in their original forms whose seeds will produce plants with the same qualities as their parent.
