At the end of last month, an alarming incident happened with Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston.
CTV News has learned that on Oct. 26, a man claiming to have a gun visited Houston outside the premier’s office on Granville Street in Halifax.
The man, who approached Houston as he exited his vehicle, was tackled by security and detained until police quickly arrived. Houston, who was uninjured in the incident, was safely escorted to his offices at One Government Place.
The premier’s office confirmed to CTV Atlantic Sunday that the incident had occurred, while also providing an unreleased statement dated Oct. 31 to the Nova Scotia Department of Justice.
The statement noted that while a police report has been filed, no charges have been filed against the man.
“Security at One Gov Place and Province House has been informed of the individual involved and has been banned from both properties under the Privacy Act for a period of one year,” the unpublished statement said.
