A residence in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, in the Jacques-Cartier MRC near Quebec City, was shot at twice this week.

The suspects again shot at the home on Friday evening, at around 8:30 p.m., prompting a major police deployment.

“Police officers from the Jacques-Cartier MRC were called to reports of gunshots heard in the Sommet Road area of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury. Once on the scene, they found that shots had hit a residence in the area. Fortunately, no one was injured,” said Sûreté du Québec (SQ) spokesperson Sergeant Audrey-Anne Bilodeau in an interview.

The residence is located in a densely wooded residential area where neighbours are a safe distance away.

The house in question may belong to Mathieu Pelletier, an alleged member in good standing of the Hells Angels, according to the daily Le Soleil, which said it had checked the municipal land register.

Police refused to confirm this information immediately, since the person targeted is a victim and the police never publicly identify victims in their investigations.

However, Bilodeau acknowledged that this is not the first time that the area has been targeted.

“This is the second time. There was a similar incident on Thursday night,” she admitted. “The Major Crimes Division is conducting the two investigations in order to shed light on these two events.”
