A woman married to a well-known Montreal construction boss allegedly linked to the Mafia was the target of a shooting in a west-end neighbourhood Friday morning.

The woman, in her fifties, was shot near her home in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, in west-end Montreal, police confirmed. She was in her car on Beaconsfield Avenue near Somerled when a man shot at the vehicle.

The woman wasn't hurt and drove herself to the nearest police station.

A police source told CBC News that the woman is married to Tony Magi.

Magi runs Construction FTM, a large building company. Police believe he is connected to the Rizzuto family, Montreal's once-dominant Mafia clan.

This happened about ten minutes, on foot, from where I live now. And I am stating to recognize the names. The first property I ever bought was about 300 feet north, on the same street as this incident.

That couple managed to get a demolition permit in an area where NONE are ever issued. That was around 1989-91. I owned property there from 1992 to 1994, but I moved out in '93 and after a short stint in a large NDG rental flat, moved to Cressy Road, where I live now, and about ten minutes away from this latest incident.

Two or three years ago, this woman's husband was shot as he drove down a nearby thoroughfare. He survived.

      date: Friday, May 16 | Gregori J. Martin, Lynn Martin | Phideaux Xavier Anita and Vernon versus Bill – I love it. Is Vanessa a dominatrix? That's kind of kinky, and Cody seems to love it, too! I love seeing Dana and Ted's dynamic right now; you can sense some kind of passion, and it's differing on both sides. I appreciate us building a connection between Bradley and Nicole. So, we've got the names of the Articulettes: Anita, Sharon and Tracy. A one-night-only kind of performance. Hoping they can pull this off. Dani and Pamela are a hoot together; I love their banter, and I'm so happy to see this friendship continuing to develop on screen. The anvil of Jacob and Naomi liking June being around; that's got to lead to something, no? Douglas, stop playing powerball with Joey. So Nicole wants to sell the house? Girl is jumping over divorce and right to the settling of the assets; thankfully, Vanessa has the keen sense to deny the offer to list the property. Notes: I like seeing different connections being built between characters right now: Bill and Bradley, Dani and Pamela, and Nicole and Vanessa. It's nice seeing things settling. I loved the scene of Pamela cooing over Joey's Instagram, given Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom's real-life relationship history.
    • Boy, do I agree with this. These writers HAVE to know what they're doing when they add those "We're the Duprees" lines....at least I pray to God they do. If they don't, they're clueless. This family is -- like most families -- deeply flawed and going through it. There's something tone deaf about the "We're the Duprees" pronouncements all over the place.  
    • Very interesting in what meal Anita and Tracy share.
    • Thanks for sharing your memories. It's so special to get to talk with your mother about a soap she watched when she was younger that you now watch. '70s feminism had to be much tougher, and other than maybe Search for Tomorrow (where the Kathy character is mostly unavailable in '70s form), Ryan's Hope may be the only soap that delved into this. Jill is such a fascinating character, one I'm not surprised was polarizing with viewers. So much about her probably shouldn't have worked, especially when you think of all the backstory thrown at viewers immediately (a previous love affair with Jack, being adopted and never feeling at home in the Coleridge family, being Frank's "other woman" for much of the decade). Nancy Addison was just so special, and the entitlement and arrogance of Jill felt offset by her vulnerability (which was not the case for the rest of her family).  Mary was also very important for feminist debates, and likely more popular with the audience, but I never really connected with her the way I did with Jill. Maybe because the inherent smugness of the Ryans felt like a wall.  Sometimes I wonder if it perversely helped Jill as a character that she was lumped with a complete dud of a partner for a year and a half, because it humanized her - why are you sacrificing your dignity for this loser?  @safe Thanks for reminding me of more Sarah Felder backstory. A great deal I had forgotten. I appreciate her sticking up for the Pat/Nancy story if it was struck down due to prejudice, but there was so much else wrong with that pairing (I say that as one of the few John Blazo fans). I suppose the narrative about Felder is just too easy to believe (and she never has spoken about her time on the show).
    • Leslie uses Tide with Downy and not the Tide with Oxi! 
    • I am not sure either, but I'm riding with the outsiders regardless. There was an opportunity to use Anita to ground the family and make you root for them.  I wonder do they still have chemistry, I thought they did at ATWT.
    • Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom had a scene together!!  They're either friendly (which is great) or they're just professionals (which is great).

    • I love Bradley and Bill together.  New Ted was very soulful in his scenes with Leslie. 
    • Sometimes, I'm not sure we're supposed to like the Duprees. They pontificate at the drop of a hat. And even when they have the right, they gotta just put that last little nail in. I guess they were justified in reading Eva, but the "and you're never going to be a Dupree..." like...do they really think that was the goal in all that?
