Mass stabbing in Canada: this was the chronology of the attack 3:15
(CNN) --
The suspect in the mass stabbing in Canada was taken into custody Wednesday after a three-day manhunt, according to a tweet from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Saskatchewan.
The RCMP tweeted that Myles Sanderson was taken into custody around 3:30pm local time.
Sanderson had been considered by police to be "armed and dangerous".
"There is no longer a risk to public safety in connection with this investigation," the RCMP tweeted.
Sanderson's arrest comes three days after 10 people were killed in the mass stabbing and 18 others were injured.
The victims' ages ranged from 23 to 78, authorities said.

Sanderson and his brother, Damien Sanderson, were identified as suspects shortly after the attacks.
Damien Sanderson was found dead a day after the attacks with injuries not believed to be self-inflicted, police said.
Myles Sanderson was wanted on three counts of first degree murder, one count of attempted murder and breaking and entering of a residence.
Police reported a possible sighting of Sanderson in the James Smith Cree Nation on Tuesday, but later determined he was not in the community.
The search has expanded to the entire province of Saskatchewan, authorities said.
All but one of the victims are from James Smith's Cree Nation
The 10 victims are between the ages of 23 and 78, and all but one are from the James Smith Cree Nation Indian community, according to authorities.
The Saskatchewan Coroner's Service and the RCMP provided the names and ages of the victims in a statement Wednesday, but declined to confirm their relationships.
Six of the victims share the last name Burns, two share the last name Head, and one shares the last name of the two suspects in the attacks.
The victims were identified as:
Thomas Burns, 23 years old
Carol Burns, 46 years old
Gregory Burns, 28 years old
Lydia Gloria Burns, 61 years old
Bonnie Burns, 48 years old
Earl Burns, 66 years old
Lana Head, 49 years old
Christian Head, 54 years old
Robert Sanderson, 49 years old
Wesley Petterson, 78 years old
Petterson is from Weldon, Saskatchewan, while the other nine victims are from the James Smith Cree Nation.

Several relatives of some of the victims spoke at a news conference Wednesday about their loved ones.
Saskatoon Tribal Chief Mark Arcand identified Bonnie Burns as his sister and Gregory Burns as his son, saying another of his children was stabbed but survived.
“Let me be honest in saying this, we really don't know what happened.
We only know that members of our family were killed in their own home, in their yard,” Arcand said.
In addition, 18 people were injured in the knife attacks, but authorities will not release their identities.
“We can confirm that one teenager was injured and the remaining injured are all adults.
We will not confirm other specific ages,” the agencies said.
Three patients were in critical condition and seven were stable as of Tuesday, according to the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
The victims' information was released as Canadian police continued their search for one of two suspects in the brutal attacks, which spanned 13 different crime scenes on the James Smith Cree Nation and in Weldon, a nearby rural town.
