Potential shooter self-destructs in Halifax - Police pleased with themselves.

[Woodsman]

Just came across this story...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-shooting-plot-foiled-by-tipster-police-say-1.2957279

Sounds to me like one of those pre-programmed death puppets "went off".

The coverage is sort of downplayed when they could have milked it a lot more:

"I can tell you that it was a tip, a source from the public that initiated the initial investigation," said Nova Scotia RCMP Commanding Officer Brian Brennan. "We want people to know we became aware, we acted quickly and intercepted a threat."

[...]

"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."

But then then he goes on to say:

"The operation involved the Halifax police, RCMP, the Geneva Police Department in Illinois and other policing partners. "

From Illinois? Operation? What kind of public tip are we talking about here?

It may be a random mis-firing of a pre-programmed shooter, but this also comes directly on the heels of Harper's announcement of the creation of his all-Canadian secret police:
