A man killed his sister and injured seven others in a mass stabbing at a First Nation reserve in Canada before dying in a collision with a police car, authorities said Thursday.

The Mounties identified the attacker as 26-year-old Tyrone Simard and said he killed his 18-year-old sister.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Supt. Rob Lasson said an officer was responding to a mass stabbing, when her cruiser crashed with a stolen vehicle driven by the suspect.

Lasson said he died on the scene and a female officer driving the cruiser is in the hospital with critical but non life-threatening injuries.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the stabbing happened early Thursday at the Hollow Water First Nation, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) northeast of the provincial capital, Winnipeg.

Lasson said police were called to the reserve after reports of an assault and later stabbings at two different locations. The injured range in age between 18 and 60. He said the victims and the suspect all knew each other.

Lasson said the suspect was known to police.
