But what may have led Bennet to target these 2 persons? ASP Smith says they suspect it may have been drug related.
ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"The motive that we are suspecting to have caused this incident is drug related. As a matter of fact, as a part of police investigation into that incident, an operation was launched by the GI3 personnel in their continued efforts to stem the illicit trafficking of drugs in that area. This search was conducted at a residence on Queen Street and an unoccupied property, and during the course of that search, a nine millimeter pistol was recovered two nine millimeter magazines, one of which is an extended magazine, 31 live rounds of assorted 9 millimeter ammunition and approximately 60g of crack cocaine, separated in just under 300 parcels of, small parcels. The firearm, believed to have been used in the shooting of Martin and Stephens, was packaged and submitted to the National Forensic Science Services Laboratory for them to conduct testing to determine whether it was in fact used in that incident."
PG residents tell us the shooter was brought in from out west to do the shooting.
