A woman who attacked Canadian Tire employees with a knife and a golf club while declaring support for terror group Daesh is sentenced to seven years in prison, a judge ruled Thursday. However, her mental illness played a “central role” and is a significant mitigating factor, particularly during the Canadian Tire attack, Forestell said. Her mental illness “does not absolve her of responsibility but it was clearly a causal factor,” she said. On the day of the attack on the Canadian Tire, Dughmosh left her home carrying bags full of homemade weapons — including stiffened straws with nails attached to the ends —and arrows. Dughmosh left the apartment again with the bow and a knife concealed in her clothes and went to the Canadian Tire.
