Police are still uncertain if the house was the target of the shooting or if someone outside the residence was, according to Montreal police spokesperson Raphael Bergeron.

“Is it an exchange of gunfire or a targeted shooting? We do not know,” Bergeron said. “We have no witnesses of the event.”

Bergeron said it is still not understood what exactly happened and police have no suspects.

Police will be looking over possible security footage of the area to shed light on the event.
