WINNIPEG — A brother and sister are dead and several others, including a Mountie, injured after a mass stabbing Thursday on a Manitoba First Nation.
Police say the woman, 18, was among those stabbed by her brother, 26-year-old Tyrone Simard, in the early morning attack on the Hollow Water First Nation northeast of Winnipeg.
RCMP Supt. Rob Lasson said the attacker fled the community in a stolen vehicle and died in a highway crash with an RCMP officer who was responding to the stabbings.
The officer suffered critical injuries and was taken to hospital but is expected to make a full recovery.
“She stopped a man on a rampage, so on behalf of the province of Manitoba I thank her,” Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew told a press conference.
Seven others were found injured in two different homes in the community and were taken to hospital via helicopter and ground ambulance.
Mounties said officers continue to investigate and are going from house to house making sure there are no other victims.
