Nova Scotia police say they've stopped a plot to kill a large number of people in Halifax on Saturday.

Police said they have three suspects involved in the alleged plot in custody, and another was found dead in a home in Timberlea, N.S.

"We want people to know we became aware, we acted quickly and intercepted a threat," said Nova Scotia RCMP Commanding Officer Brian Brennan.

He said a man and woman planned to go to a public venue in the Halifax region on Feb. 14 "with a goal of opening fire to kill citizens, and then themselves."

Brennan said a tip was received Thursday morning that a 19-year-old man from Timberlea and a 23-year-old woman from Geneva, Ill., had access to firearms and presented a significant weapons-related threat.

The roles of the other male suspects, aged 20 and 17, of Halifax and Cole Harbour respectively, is still to be determined as part of the investigation, police said Friday night.

Police tracked the 19-year-old down to Tiger Maple Drive in Timberlea, entered the house and found him dead early Friday.

At 2 a.m. Friday, police arrested the 20-year-old man and the female suspect at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. airport. The woman was arriving in Canada, and the man was meeting her.

At 11 a.m. Friday, police arrested the 17-year-old in Cole Harbour.

“I wouldn’t characterize it as a terrorist event. I would classify it as a group of individuals that had some beliefs and were willing to carry out violent acts against citizens.”

He didn’t say what the beliefs were, other than that “they were not culturally based.”


Then why not release the names?

I’m going with Dunkers. Maybe Shakers, since they’re so prolific.

They chose Canada because it doesn’t have the 2nd Amendment.

House in this photo in a Canadian paper:

http://thechronicleherald.ca/metro/1268931-man-found-dead-in-timberlea-home

matches the one in this realtor’s listing:

https://www.remaxnova.com/residential/16-tiger-maple-dr-timberlea-mls-40430761

I don’t have a reverse address look up, but maybe someone here does.
