Roy Green - Sun Feb 15 - Halifax Terror Plot

: Two individuals have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the alleged plot to assault a Halifax shopping mall with firearms. Nova Scotia RCMP laid charges against 23 year old Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath of Geneva, Illinois and 20 year old Randall Steven Shepherd of Halifax. A 17 year old was released without charges by remains under investigation. A fourth suspect committed apparent suicide at his parents home in Timberlea, N.S. Three long barrel guns were seized from the home. The plan was to shoot and kill citizens at the Halifax Shopping Centre yesterday and then kill themselves. The individuals are thought to have built a friendship online and hatched their plot that way. What would cause four young people to prepare to commit such a heinous act? Guest: Dr. Frank Farley. Psychologist. Past president of the American Psychological Association and president-elect of the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflicts and Violence.
