Edmonton Police Charge Oil Salesman For Threat To Shoot Up Alberta Minister’s Office.
Cheryl Sheppard of the Edmonton Police Service says a call was received in the office of Environment Minister Shannon Phillip on March 31, 2016. The caller allegedly told a staffer that he was upset over the carbon tax so he was going to get his gun and ammunition and shoot them all.
Charged is Michael Enright who denies the allegations, saying he doesn’t have a gun or ammunition. He says the call was “nothing” and he was having a “bad day.” He adds he didn’t make any threats, he was just calling to voice his frustration over the hurt being experienced in his industry. Enright is an oil products salesman from Camrose.
Premier Notley and her cabinet have been the target of numerous threats over the last few months, with a number of messages posted online that threaten to kill the premier. No charges have been laid in those cases.
