A mother, a 77-year-old widower and a community first responder have been identified as among the 10 people who died during mass stabbings Sunday in two small Saskatchewan communities.
CBC News has confirmed Lana Head, 49, is one of the deceased from James Smith Cree Nation. She leaves behind two daughters: Sable, 31, and Sage, 30.
Head's former partner, Michael Brett Burns, said she worked as a security guard at Northern Lights Casino and was also a commissionaire officer. "If someone needed a hand, he helped. He was a kind-hearted man," said Weldon resident Ruby Works. She said she had known Petterson since she was a little girl. He was like an uncle to her and she said he cared deeply about his neighbours in the town of about 200 people."I couldn't even breathe. I couldn't even catch my breath," she said, adding that she's still in shock.
