Frederick Moses McCallum, 19, broke the door to the Pederson's family home and with a long-handled fire axe killed seven people and wounded one. In the home, he killed the father, mother, family friend, two sons, two daughters, and wounded one son. All the bodies of family members lay in bed and the body of a family friend lay in the living room. After the killings, McCallum called a local priest and told him about the killings. The priest called the police. When police detained McCallum he was sitting in the kitchen and sipping tea. The wounded son after the murders was in a coma for several months. In court, a psychiatrist said McCallum had signs of schizophrenia. McCallum was initially found unfit for criminal responsibility and sent to a psychiatric hospital in Ontario. In 1970, he was allowed to stand trial and McCallum was sent to Prince Albert Penitentiary. After some time he was again diagnosed with schizophrenia and sent to a psychiatric institution in Penetanguishene. In 1989, McCallum was released on condition that he not return to Saskatchewan.
