Crime in 2005

In an attempt to keep up on things in Canada I have been reading some news online. Today I came across an article that could give anyone shivers. Especially one from Saskatchewan, like me. It also made me very thankful that I have never lived in the Untied States, or I might have not lived this long.

This is the link: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2006/07/20/crimesask.html

And this was the article:
