#halifax #massshooting #canada #timberlea The Canadian police have revealed that they have foiled a plot to carry out a mass shooting in the Halifax area on Saturday as informed in bbc.com dated 14 February 2015.
It seems at least two suspects had plans to go to a public venue with the intention of opening fire and kill citizens, and then themselves. As per the opinion of the police, it did not appear to have links to terrorism.
Three suspects were arrested and a fourth apparently committed suicide after police surrounded his home. Two of the suspects are a 19-year-old man from the Halifax suburb of Timberlea and a 23-year-old woman from the US state of Illinois and both of them had access to firearms.
When they had gone to arrest the 19-year-old man from the Halifax suburb of Timberlea, he killed himself. However, a 20-year-old Canadian man was arrested along with the woman at Halifax Stanfield International Airport while the fourth suspect, a 17-year-old Canadian boy, was arrested at a house. Investigators are trying to find out what the roles of the latter two suspects were.
The suspects appeared to have been obsessed with killing and death and had been on a chat stream and also had many photos of mass killing.
