RCMP say two people, including a suspect, are dead after a mass stabbing at Hollow Water First Nation in Manitoba. They say at least six people are in hospital after the attack this morning in the community 200 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg.
Health officials say two victims were airlifted to Winnipeg, while others were taken by ground ambulance. RCMP describe the attack as a ``senseless act of violence.
'' They say there is currently no risk to public safety, but officers remain in the community as well as on a highway to the south near Black River First Nation.
A code orange, which means a sudden influx of patients, was declared at the largest hospital in Winnipeg, although it was lifted a few hours later.
``Our officers are gathering information to determine what exactly occurred this morning and we will be providing a more detailed update early this afternoon,'' RCMP said Thursday in a news release.
The Anishinaabe community of roughly 530 people is situated along the eastern banks of Lake Winnipeg.
