They escaped in a car.The 2,500-member James Smith Cree Nation declared a local state of emergency and advised many Saskatchewan residents to stay inside.In a tweet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the attacks as “horrific and sad,” expressed his condolences, and urged locals to follow police instructions.
