James Smith: Saskatchewan First Nation will quietly mark 2nd anniversary of mass killing [Video]

James Smith Cree Nation Chief Kirby Constant says a quiet feast will acknowledge the second anniversary of a mass stabbing.

Myles Sanderson killed 10 people and injured 17 others on the First Nation before fatally stabbing another nearby in Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon.

A police manhunt for Sanderson followed the killing spree, as Sanderson decamped to a nearby wooded area, with the RCMP issuing a jarring series of emergency alerts that gripped the province throughout the search.

Earlier this year, the families of Sanderson’s victims attended a series of coroner’s inquests that outlined what police know about the events leading up to the killings, including painful details about their relatives’ deaths.
