1. I hope he sobered up enough to be taken peacefully

The CBC is parsimonious when it comes to details, looks like they changed the headline on an earlier story.

I'm just glad he's off the street.

3. Yes. I saw that too. Great news.

7. He apparently died shortly after

From the updated article.

Myles Sanderson, the main suspect in a stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan, has died shortly after been arrested. Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore, Commanding Officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP, will speak on the investigation at RCMP Headquarters in Regina.

They're saying it's from self inflicted wound.

Myles Sanderson, one of the two suspects in a stabbing spree that left 10 people dead in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, was taken into custody Wednesday, police said. An official later told The Associated Press that Sanderson has died of self-inflicted wounds.

The official did not explain when those wounds were sustained or when Sanderson died.

2. good news

4. given that's about 100 km from Weldon, where several stabbings took place,

he probably never went as far south as Regina.

WTF motivated this guy, who I assume killed his brother as well, is beyond me.

5. Your average psychopathic brothers don't go on an extended stabbing spree

together. I can only imagine that drugs were involved.

6. Brother might have died from wounds inflicted by a victim who fought back

Bleeding out slowly is not out of the question.

Looks like Myles has a lot of questions he needs to answer if he can remember most of it. Coke and alcohol are a nasty combination, lost a few friends who went down that road and they were just unbearably obnoxious, not given to blind rages.
