“It’s not comforting, that’s for sure,” neighbour Melissa McCombe said.

“It’s a risk to everyone around when there are bullets being fired. Even though they might be aiming in one direction, there can still be stray bullets.”

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been deployed.

Police say the shooting is believed to be an isolated incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
