An RCMP alert is being extended to Manitoba and Alberta.

A Dangerous Person Alert is in place after multiple stabbing incidents were reported on Sunday (Sept. 4) in various locations, including James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Saskatchewan.

Police say the two male suspects are named Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson.

Damien is 5'7" and 155 lbs with black hair, and brown eyes. Myles is 6'1" and 240 lbs with brown hair.

Smoke is drifting into central Alberta, leaving the sky hazy and prompting Environment Canada to issue a special air quality statement.

The weather agency has put the advisory in place for communities such as Fort Saskatchewan, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Bruderheim, Lamont, Gibbons, Bon Accord, Redwater and Morinville. 

The statement was issued this morning (Sept. 4).

Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques says today's decision to scrub the launch of NASA's new moon rocket is disappointing but necessary due to another leak found ahead of the planned test flight.

The Artemis 1 rocket sprang another fuel leak, forcing controllers to call off the second attempt this week to send a crew capsule with test dummies aboard into lunar orbit.

The first attempt on Monday was also aborted due to escaping hydrogen elsewhere on the 98-metre NASA-built rocket.

Shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday morning, Strathcona County RCMP responded to a 911 call from a cannabis retailer after employees heard gun shots.

When RCMP responded, it was confirmed that there were bullet holes in the front window.

The two employees, who were in the store at the time, were not injured. 

Police say the business is located on Blackfoot Road.

An area pet rescue association has been selected to pilot Strathcona County's first cat shelter.  

The county has chosen the Greater Edmonton Animal Rescue Society (GEARS) as the successful applicant to run the 12-month cat shelter pilot project.
