JAMES SMITH CREE NATION, Saskatchewan (AP) — A Canadian Indigenous community is trying to come to grips with a deadly stabbing rampage by two of its own, and many blame rampant drug and alcohol use that they link to government failures. Others are asking why the chief suspect had been recently freed from prison despite a long history of violence. Parole documents show that still-fugitive suspect Myles Sanderson has 59 criminal convictions and had acknowledged that drug and alcohol use made him out of his mind. He had been sought for a parole violation since May, and it’s not clear why he had not been apprehended.
