The man was riding in Bethany Rd. about 10:30 a.m. when multiple gun shots were heard, the Surete du Quebec confirms.
A resident who lives nearby and who did not want to be named says he heard bangs and then a series of rapid fire shots. He ran to the road and found the biker in pain and lying on the road with a woman at his side.
A Transport Quebec truck brings cones to block off Bethany Rd. in Lachute Saturday, April 16, 2016, after a member of the Ontario Nomads Hells Angels bikers club was shot there.
