Two charged following foiled Halifax attack plot

A man and a woman have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with an alleged plot, involving them and two other suspects, to open fire at the Halifax Shopping Centre on Valentine's Day and then kill themselves, a plan police say could have resulted in mass killings. Police said Saturday that charges have been laid against 23-year-old Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath of Geneva, Illinois and 20-year-old Randall Steven Shepherd of Halifax, while a 17-year-old boy from the Halifax area has been released without charge, though police say he remains under investigation. The fourth suspect, a 19-year-old man, was found dead by police early Friday morning in the Halifax suburb of Timberlea, where police seized three long-barrelled rifles from the home where the man was found dead.

This group of individuals we would not define as a terrorist group. They were four individuals that had a friendship.
