Quebec provincial police are investigating a shooting in St. Jean sur Richelieu.

The attack took place Sunday evening inside a home on Collin St. near St. Jacques St.

It appears that several people tried to force their way into the home and shot a man who tried to stop them.

Police said this was not a random attack, but shows signs of being a crime targetting someone with links to gangs and organized crime.

It is the second shooting incident in the area in several days.
