Fuck....I know one of the female victims. Still waiting for confirmation. I hope not.
Saskatchewan RCMP say the deaths of two men and two women on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation on Tuesday are being considered homicides and may have been targeted.
On Tuesday, RCMP said officers responded to a report of deaths on the reserve, located about 80 kilometres east of Regina, at 11:15 a.m. CST. They found four people dead in a home.
Insp. Ashley St. Germaine, a senior investigative officer with the major crimes unit, said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon that RCMP were still working with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service to formally identify the victims, but confirmed that they were two men and two women.
St. Germaine said RCMP believe there is no greater risk to the public at this time and that the decision not to issue a dangerous persons alert on Tuesday was carefully considered and decided against based on the information available at the time. She said the belief that the killings were targeted played into the decision.
She said the RCMP is working to identify suspects, and that the case is in its infancy and complex.
"At this point in time we don't have information to confirm that they're still at large," St. Germain said when asked if it's possible the person or people responsible are still on the loose.
St. Germaine was asked how uncommon a crime like this is.
"It's a tragedy at the end of the day. How uncommon it is? I think, you know, it doesn't happen every year, every month, but every time it does happen, it impacts everybody. It impacts the communities, the families, the province [and] the police officers," she said.
