The e-mails give some insight into how Regina police responded following the stabbings on Sept. 4, which left 11 dead and 18 injured on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby village of Weldon, Sask.

A report of a suspect vehicle in Saskatchewan’s capital hours after a stabbing rampage on a First Nation some 300 kilometres away suddenly pulled city officers into the investigation and kept residents on edge for days.

A truck he was suspected of driving after the killings was found in the small community of Crystal Springs, 65 kilometres southwest of the First Nation. Sanderson was eventually spotted outside a home in nearby Wakaw, leading to a highway chase and his arrest. Just after noon, Mounties issued a fifth alert saying there were reports of the suspect vehicle in Regina. Residents were asked to stay inside and the Saskatchewan Roughriders added extra security for the Labour Day Classic football game that evening.

Police across the province had initially been looking for Myles Sanderson and his brother, Damien Sanderson. Later on Sept. 5, Damien Sanderson was found dead on the First Nation. Later that afternoon, however, Bray went against that advice and posted a video on social media saying, “we’ve received information that is leading us to believe he may no longer be in this community.”
