HALIFAX—Police in the Halifax area say they responded to five unfounded bomb threats within about an hour early Sunday. The RCMP say they received a call at about 1:30 a.m. from an anonymous male who claimed he was in the parking lot of a sports facility in Cole Harbour with bombs and a hunting rifle. Shortly after 2 a.m., the RCMP office received an automated phone message from an anonymous person indicating there was a bomb at Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Around the same time, Dalhousie University received a threatening automated phone message, and while police were investigating that, nearby Saint Mary’s University also received a bomb threat from an anonymous person. Seven minutes later, Halifax Regional Police received reports of a bomb threat against a downtown Halifax library.
