Building in a quiet

Of the inhabitants of the building located near avenue Decelles, where occurred the second attempt to murder were in shock Sunday.

“I’ve heard doors close loudly, and a woman who was screaming. I opened the door. I would not have had to, I could fall face-to-face with the shooter, ” says Gisèle Légaré, who lives in the building for more than 40 years.

Like other tenants, she was always amazed at the drama that occurred a few meters from his apartment.

“There has never been any problems in the building. This is the first time I see it. I almost fainted seeing the deployment, ” adds the lady.

Ongoing investigation

The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) began its work of investigation to determine the reasons for the aggression.

“The state of health of the victim does not always meet with investigators,” said Jean-Pierre Brabant, spokesperson for the SPVM.
