That's the official word; no assault, no weapons, no drugs. If I had speculate, it was probably a fight. If you really need details, I'm sure you could file a Public Records request request; the report numbers are 21-882-AR and 21-883-AR. The article also just says "taken to the hospital" and not "for injuries," which could also mean for psychiatric evaluation.

If WPRI has it, everyone does, or will shortly.

Ghoulish. Will you be disappointed if it's a suicide and not a murder, or do those go onto your map too?

Edited: Appears it was neither

They probably won't, and they aren't going to follow up with an "it was nothing" story.

Crickets usually imply just that.

To those unfamiliar with the location, this is the Vibe Lounge.

And this is where the shooting actually happened. It's right by the former China Inn. Officers arrived there at 1 a.m., and found the 32-year-old man with gunshot wounds.

Well Channel 10 did, for one. And apparently the city doesn't think it was "nothing". They pulled their liquor license.

At least golfers don't get attacked in robbery attempts playing on courses in Pawtucket as is the case in Boston.
