The front door of a building and a French window were shattered while a vehicle was hit at least three times.
Collateral damages
Several casings were found and projectile impacts were visible on three vehicles parked in the street and two buildings. An automatic weapon appears to have been used by the attackers.
When passing the Log Monday afternoon, the damage was still very visible on one of the affected buildings.
The French window of an apartment on the first floor crumbled under the impact of the projectiles.
“I heard a big boom”, explains the tenant who has lived there for 38 years and who fortunately was not affected.
The shooting took place in one of the hottest quadrangles of Montreal, known for its presence of street gang members.
According to a review of Logfive events involving firearms have taken place within a 300m radius since July.
