1. What the hell?

[Warpy]

5. Sounds like some asshole thought getting rid of the family

would solve all his problems.

This is really sad, no matter where or how it happens. It's happened here in NM, too.

9. some are random and some are targeted so we don't know what it is about.

3. Horrifying

Hoping the hospitalized recover.

4. Attacked at random?!?

[Bev54]

6. Some attacked at random, some they say were targeted.

Alerts have gone out to us in Alberta and those in Manitoba as both provinces are adjacent to Sask but they don't know which way they are going. Last seen in Regina this morning. It all started at about 5:30 am their time.

7. And no idea of motive?

Scary!

[Bev54]

8. Not that they are giving us but one of them has been wanted by the Police since May

The police here do not usually give us a lot of information like in the US. They tend to be closed mouth about motives etc.

10. "10 people deceased in 13 locations"

ok, not to make light of a horrible situation, but...

[wnylib]

11. Yes, I wondered about that, too.

[ShazzieB]

13. It took a moment for that to register with me.

But yeah, wtf?

Sloppy editing, maybe? But I can't blame the reporter for being a little rattled. This story is beyond bizarre!

[brooklynite]

14. No, headline is correct...

10 dead and 15 injured in 13 locations.

[BigDemVoter]

12. Think what would have happened had these people been armed with military weapons like

in the good ole USA. . . .

[OneCrazyDiamond]

15. I get your point, but

How do you know they didn't use a combat knife or bayonet?

[BigDemVoter]

16. Even so, one can still run. It's a lot harder to run from a gun.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

17. Don't get me wrong.

If given a chance, I would vote to repeal the 2nd. We outsourced the military years ago. You just never mentioned firearms, and the military uses edge weapons too.

[James48]

19. There is a distinct advantage to mortars.

You don’t get quite so up close.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

21. Warfare changes.

Last decade it was carrier groups. The war in the Ukraine has shifting thinking to drones.

It all looks like state sectioned murder at industrial scale to me.

Nations devote grotesque somes of resources to poking holes in people.

18. Why can't we all just love each other?
