The two men, brothers in their forties and fifties, were shot at while sitting in a vehicle on Eddy Street in the Hull sector.
Gatineau police were able to quickly identify a suspect who was arrested in a vehicle on Eddy Street. The suspect has been charged with attempted murder, recklessly discharging a firearm, pointing a firearm and extortion.
He remains in jail awaiting trial.
“(Gatineau police have) reason to believe that the shots fired at 94 rue Saint-Hyacinthe last night are linked to this attempted murder,” police said.
