Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Oct, 2015 10:58 AM

HALIFAX — The case of a suspended Dalhousie medical student who allegedly told his psychiatrist he had thoughts of shooting up to 20 people before killing himself has been put off until Nov. 2.

Stephen Gregory Tynes faces two counts of uttering threats to cause bodily harm and one count of engaging in threatening conduct.

The 30-year-old is also charged with unauthorized possession of a prohibited device in relation to an overcapacity cartridge magazine.

Defence lawyer Stan MacDonald told Halifax provincial court Wednesday he needs time to consider new evidence and speak with his client.

In a search warrant, police allege Tynes told his psychiatrist he was going to stab the associate dean of undergraduate medical education at Dalhousie as well as her daughter.

Tynes, who did not appear in court, remains free on bail but has been ordered to stay at his father's home in Truro, N.S.
