Halifax Teen Charged With Conspiracy To Commit Murder In High School Plot

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 22 Apr, 2016 01:03 PM
    HALIFAX — Police are accusing an 18-year-old man of plotting murder after officers found a bag of guns this month near a Halifax-area high school.
     
    Jonathan Murray of Halifax was charged Friday with conspiracy to commit murder.
     
    He was originally charged with uttering threats, but police say they continued to investigate what happened near Millwood High School in Middle Sackville.
     
    "Based on the investigation, police allege Murray had access to firearms and was planning to commit a violent act at the school," RCMP said in a statement.
     
    On April 6, police said they had received a tip there were people with firearms in the area and the high school was locked down.
     
    Officers later found a duffel bag containing two long guns, two BB-type guns and some ammunition.
     
    At the time, police didn't mention anything about a possible shooting plot.
     
    Murray was arrested later that night. 
     
    Two suspects, one 15 and one 17, were also arrested — one at the scene and one nearby.
     
    The two younger teens are facing a long list of charges related to the seizure of the guns and ammunition.
     
    Murray is scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court May 13.
