LLOYDMINSTER, SASK. – RCMP said suspects were at large but the public was not at risk Thursday following a triple homicide at a home in Lloydminster, Sask.
Staff Sgt. Brian Nicholl didn’t give details about the victims.
He told reporters it appears they were targeted.
“It’s not a random incident,” Nicholl said.
“The suspect or suspects are still at large. So I do understand the concern by the community, but this is not a random incident.”
Mounties said the bodies were discovered after officers were asked to do a wellness check at the house on Wednesday afternoon.
Media reports from the scene show yellow police tape blocking off a green-coloured home on the Saskatchewan side of Lloydminster. The city straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 12, 2024.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version said the three deceased were found on the Alberta side of Lloydminster.
