Crown attorneys say that while sentences for such offences can go up to 12 years, their proposal takes into account Rehab Dughmosh's mental illness.

Dughmosh said she disagreed with "most" of the psychiatric assessments that say she has delusions and paranoid thoughts, noting specifically she disagreed with the schizophrenia diagnosis.

According to the statement of facts, Dughmosh packed a bag with several homemade weapons, including a bow and a butcher's knife, just before 5 p.m. on June 3, 2017, and made her way to the department store at Cedarbrae Mall.
