Was anybody shot in the Coventry standoff? I thought that ended peacefully?

Please don't make assumptions, MP. It wasn't missed. It was deliberately not posted out of respect for one of our forum members who I believe has family in the area.

So forum members with family in Providence and Pawtucket are less deserving of "respect"? You could try showing respect by not posting creepy Google Street View images of people in my neighborhood.

I wasn't aware of any images posted of your neighborhood. But I thought you lived in Oak Hill, on the "good side"? Can't think of any recent activity there, but if I mistakenly "intruded" in your territory I sincerely apologize.

Nice. Twist a thoughtful gesture into something negative.

More info about the shootings in Wanskuck last night:


"Upon arrival officers located two victims in their twenties, one who sustained gunshot wounds to the shoulder and hand, the other reportedly had eight to ten gunshot wounds to the torso.

Both were transported to Rhode Island Hospital, with at least one of the victims undergoing operation.

At the scene, police recovered roughly 25 9mm shell casings.

A nearby vehicle sustained at a similar number of ballistic strikes, according to police."


^ That's an awful lot of shots fired.

I assume it was a drive-by shooting with a machine gun??
