Fear can be read in the eyes of the lady who opened the door to her home in L’Île-des-Sœurs. Its main entrance is equipped with boxes. Upon entering we will see the holes left by the bullets.
Jacqueline (fictitious first name) met the media on Sunday all afternoon. His hope is that the shooters who fired at his home will understand that there are no people associated with organized crime at this address.
This morning, he was trying to recount the tragedy he had gone through for three weeks. The lady does this for her four children aged 6 to 14.
When we bought this house on plan four years ago, we planned our family life. We saw our children grow up in a safe and warm home. Now, my dream as a mother has crumbledsaid Jacqueline, tears in her eyes.
And for good reason, around him there were at least a dozen holes left by bullets that entered the living room window and the main entrance.
He and his wife were the original owners of the place and therefore they could not understand why they were being violently bullied.
The first incident took place at 2 a.m. on April 1. SPVM officials woke the family to inform them that their door had been damaged by gunfire.
You tell yourself this is bad luck. With everything going on in Montreal, wild bullets can happen without specifically targeting your familysaid the mother of the family.
But on April 23, more gunfire rang out. This time, the whole family woke up to loud explosions.
No doubt it is heavy caliber. It was like hearing thunder over and over again. The bullet went through our house to break the window of my neighbor’s son in the back. That’s a long way for a projectile gun. I lost control. I shouted. I was hysterical. It was one of my daughters who picked up her phone to call 911said Jacqueline.
The latter requests a police presence in its sector of L’Île-des-Sœurs. In addition, his neighborhood has launched a petition for a police station to be opened in the neighborhood, which is currently served by neighborhood station 16, located in Verdun.
The lady swears there is no problem with her family.
I am a mother like everyone else. I have no history with anyone. Let’s say my wife has a problem. He is still here. They just have to go and see him. By what right can people shoot a house where there are children? What do we have to do with these cases?
The Montreal Police Service declined to comment on the ongoing police investigation.
