Two men were stabbed during morning prayers at a large Sikh temple near Edmonton, Alberta. The attack occurred at the Nanaksar gurdwara, a white, ornate temple on Manning Drive, shortly after 5 a.m. on Friday. Police responded to the scene and arrested a 27-year-old suspect, who has a history of violent offenses and had recently been released from prison.
