TORONTO — Police say a Hamilton man has been arrested after allegedly making empty threats about carrying out a mass shooting at a Toronto nightclub. Toronto Police say the Facebook post, which they learned about on Friday, was made “as a hoax.”They allege the man used a fake profile to make the threats. Investigators say the man was identified nonetheless, and has been charged with conveying false information with intent to alarm. The 27-year-old appeared in court on Saturday, and also faces a charge of failing to comply with probation.
