Police say they unearthed the plot following a tip-off from Crime Stoppers on Friday - just a day before the plan for a shooting spree in the Halifax Shopping Centre had allegedly been due to take place.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay said if it had gone ahead it would have "been devastating, mass casualties would have been a real possibility".

But all suspects are now either dead or in custody, he said.


Quote:
Among the dark references in Mr Gamble's alleged blog uncovered by CBC are references to the 1999 Columbine high school massacre in Colorado, the US, and to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the news organisation reported.


Gamble shot himself before police got to him.

Good thing it was stopped or else there would be several not making it to valentines dinner. Gun control freaks would be walking over the corpses (not literally) screaming for law abiding gun-owners to hand over their guns.
Like many others doing similar things he likely had something mentally wrong with him.
