Sanderson was taken into police custody on Highway 11 north of Saskatoon after police caught up to a stolen truck and forced it off the road. He later went into medical distress and was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

A source close to the investigation said police believe Sanderson took drugs before he was arrested and overdosed while in custody. He was alive when arrested and then went into distress....

Police say a knife was found in the truck, but an initial search found no drugs in the vehicle or in Sanderson’s possession.

Sanderson was charged with three murders, attempted murder and break-and-enter. RCMP previously indicated more charges were possible as the investigation continues.

Damien Sanderson was also facing murder charges related to the killings. According to Blackmore, all witness accounts collected thus far indicate that it was only Myles who was “responsible,” but Damien is still facing charges at this time.

Article content “Our indications at this point in time were that it was Myles Sanderson,” she said. “Our investigation, as I said, continues to evolve.”

Myles was believed to have been injured either during or after the attacks, but police could not confirm this detail....

Sanderson had an extensive criminal record with a history of violence, including uttering threats to assault or kill members of James Smith Cree Nation. Among those that Sanderson threatened and assaulted was Earl Burns, who was stabbed in 2015 by Sanderson, and ultimately killed during the spree on Sunday.

Article content For stabbing Burns in January 2015, Sanderson was sentenced to two years less a day in jail.

Sanderson had numerous charges of assault against one woman, identified through court documents to be the mother of his children, several times over a 10-year period...

“ Any calls in Canada for tougher knife control?”
How many did he kill with a knife? Like 10 or so?
Crazy, and no one could do a thing.
Carry a weapon with you like your life depends on it. It very well may.

The older I get the more I realize that the goal of the left is “power”.

They gain power over the nation by dividing us into factions and they even profit from the fractures.

It is sad. Our constitution does not allow for such division despite the sins of the past nor should our Judeo-Christian ethos, but here we are.....

My heart is broken for the children who are statistically doomed before they are born and we exacerbate the harm via government and cultural forces that have nothing to do with the welfare of the child. Before you know it, predictably, they grow up and become a headline and half the country wonders how it all happened.

I bet the kid in Memphis today has a similar story. It does not excuse such evil acts, but my condemnation goes far beyond the young man. Very few kids should be born like this..... to borrow from my least favorite “politician” - it takes a village.

There is also a factor in which young disorganized and demoralized men think they have a right to be anti-social or can get away with criminality. In the city of New Orleans, which has always had a definite underclass of many races the numbers are stunning. In 1960 when the city had a population of 600,000+ the homicide rate ran about 6 per month annualizing at around 75-80 a year. Today New Orleans has had more than 200 homicides and there are still three months to go in the year and the city is about 40% smaller with a population of around 350,000.So the city will probably end out the year with about 250 homicides. Since there have always been poor, socially disorganized black and white men here why the explosion of murders. Obviously there are severe problems in the negro community as about 80% of all violent crimes are perpetrated by young black men. But it is absolutely forbidden to discuss this. Middle and upper middle class white people will not talk about it among themselves.
