dissolve get into any of the actual investigative it's still in its infancy right now what's the relationship between the three I can't confirm that right now and can you tell us whether they are men women I can't get into the actual investigative steps it's it's right at its infancy right now and you're calling these murders but you're also saying that there's no immediate concern for Public Safety I feel like the public might see those as sort contradictory can you just share with us yeah and and I say that this is a target not an isolate it's not a random incident the suspect or suspects are still at large so I do understand the concern by the community but this is not a random incident that we believe at this time we I can't get into the actual investigation at this time again I can't get into the details of the specifics are no what do you have to say to folks who again I know that you're saying this is not a random incident but the suspects are still large not immediately Ser again it's related to the not Randomness this is a we believe this is a target incident that somebody came to this location or some peoples came to this location specifically do you no unfortunately I don't again I I wouldn't I I don't know any of the investigative steps on that or sorry the intricacies of the investigation so I can't say it's related to drug at all what are some of the specialized units that are coming to the that we might see more of right now we have the crime the major crime unit out of uh Edmonton Alberta and then we have Traffic Safety units in town and we have uh a they're called the Tactical support group it's the Saskatchewan side is it the Saskatchewan side is the combined traffic Services Unit there's people online say that this was a father two son I cannot confirm anything on the details of the of the identities as I said we responded at 5:51 p.m. last night right there's autopsies going to be ongoing and that's over the next two days so I can't confirm men of death or anything at this time pardon me sorry of how long it may have been deceased no I can't get into that was this the first being check that this I'm not sure and was it a wellbe check specifically for one person all three individuals or just for it was just a report of a well-being check Brian part of the street was roped off yes can you expand on that why that that was just to secure the scene for our investigative teams we St Le moving things in and out today can you just share a little bit about what they may have been looking for what they are moving in and out I can't speak for the investigation itself going on at the town or at the at the location cuz I wasn't there so you know as as any incident occurs we're going to be looking for evidence of of the offenses and what are the next steps you said autopsies it'll be it'll start with the autopsies and we're still going to carry on with investigative and interviewing people neighbor inquiries video all all those things inspector in your entire career have you ever seen an incident like this and is there any parallel that we can draw that could maybe calm concerns down in in our community as I say when we talk about it it's it's a it's a tough comment always when we say the public is under risk and I appreciate your your comments on that and yes I have I involved in in a few of these over trip over my yes it's been around for quite some time in a different location um all I can indicate is that that it it's it's not a random act this isn't somewhere where we're looking at at this time it doesn't appear to be a random act so we're not the general public is if they're not involved in this type of activity or any types of criminal activity and I'm again I'm not saying these were criminals at all I don't I I don't know the investigation but generally it's when it's targeted there's there's a reason what that reason is that's what the investigation has to determine can you recall anytime serving here in Lloyd that you had something this serious happen no GE you us a sense of large scope that you're looking at GE the investigation will tell us that and unfortunately I don't know the details it could be local it could be exterior it could be it could be any it could be a number of things again I don't have that information and I and I couldn't get into it if I did that works works thank you you're in the clar so yeah no worries thank you now I'll let my French counterpart you might have to duck down yeah that won't work yeah don't worry do I get a mic as well or just this one sounds good but again I I can't say but the reality is I mean they're going [Music] to ask that's fine don't worry I'll just ask you those questions and then sounds good which one yours and they'll be asking French or English just to make sure so unfortunately my questions are going to so I'll answer in French for you if you could yeah of course okay so if you wouldn't mind just um telling us your first and last name and spelling Absolut and come no and you can tell us what happened at this particular of course I can yeah don't worry and Rel what we wereing inspector earlier is that there's no need concern for public but he did mention that suspects are still at large can you help the public understand how um and what do you say to the community who seeing what's happening here here's about three people dead are and our anything else you like my pleasure
