A debate was cancelled and several candidates paused their campaign activities Thursday after police reported a man allegedly entered a public location in the city’s east end, threatened to shoot the candidates and then brandished what looked like a gun. Police called it a blanket threat, not targeting any specific campaign, and say the location was unrelated to any candidate appearances.Share this Story:
