Darpan News Desk, 10 Apr, 2015 11:29 AM

HALIFAX — The case involving two people accused of plotting to open fire at a Halifax shopping mall has been adjourned until next Thursday.

Twenty-three-year-old Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath of Geneva, Ill., and 20-year-old Randall Steven Shepherd of Halifax are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit arson, illegal possession of weapons for a purpose dangerous to the public and making a threat through social media.

Crown lawyer Shauna MacDonald has said the Crown will oppose bail if an application is made.

The Crown information submitted with the provincial court alleges the offences took place between Jan. 6 and Valentine's Day and were carried out in concert with James Lee Gamble, a 19-year-old man found dead in his Halifax home.

The RCMP allege the accused were planning an attack on the Halifax Shopping Centre.

None of the allegations made by police or other officials about the case has been proven in court.
