Trudeau vows justice for those responsible
Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has vowed that those responsible for today’s “abhorrent attacks” must be “fully brought to justice”.
In a statement issued late on Sunday, Trudeau said:
I am shocked and devastated by the horrific attacks today in James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Saskatchewan, that claimed the lives of 10 people and injured many more.”
As this is an unfolding situation, I encourage everyone in the area to listen to the advice of law enforcement to take shelter and follow the proper precautions.
Trudeau said the Government of Canada has been “in direct communication” with the James Smith Cree Nation community leadership and is “ready to assist in any way we can”.
Those responsible for today’s abhorrent attacks must be fully brought to justice.”
