Another shooting threat made against Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S.
The person made a shooting threat on the social media website Reddit early Tuesday morning. The post has since been removed and the Reddit account was suspended.
RCMP public information officer Cpl. Chris Marshall said in an interview that the investigation is ongoing, though police have an “idea” of where the threats are coming from. “Investigators certainly have an idea as to who it is that they’re looking for … we’re just trying to firm up those pieces before we get to a position where we would arrest anybody,” he said.RCMP previously said a threat was received in an email by the university’s Safety and Security department on June 6. Information about the threat was also being circulated on social media.Marshall said investigators are working to verify and corroborate the threats.
“We’re trying to verify and corroborate that this is in fact not just somebody who’s posting something for attention, and is an actual legitimate threat,” he said. “A part of that is working on identifying those people, which looks like we’re slowly working through that process to be able to do.”Tuesday, Acadia’s Director of Safety and Security, Patrick Difford, told students and staff that the school was aware of the post, which “reiterated a threat of violence against individuals and our campus for fall 2023.”
