An eyewitness told SNO that the victims were doing a BBQ at the garage when they were attacked by gunmen who fled on foot. The source reported hearing more than 10 gunshots.
“It was a group of them doing their BBQ… The guys (gunmen) came out from down the hill where there is a lot of bush and started firing shots,” the eyewitness explained.
