"Shortly at 1 AM, police responded to Veazie Street for a report of a shooting. According to police, they encountered a large crowd outside of McCormack’s Pub. Police said they encountered a male victim in his 30s, bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds. The victim was taken to Rhode Island Hospital. Police said that the crowd became aggressive toward police and there were no cooperating witnesses. There were multiple shell casings found at the scene, say police. "
Two hours earlier, police reported to RI Hospital for a man in his early 40s who says he was shot in the leg while walking down Courtland St. in the Federal Hill neighborhood. Courtland St. is where the Courtland Club is, which is very popular among the city's growing hipster community.
And a few minutes before that, a man in his 30s was shot in the shoulder by the corner of Broad St. and Sassafras St.. That is in the Elmwood section of South Providence. It's a highly problematic area bordering the infamous Broad and Prairie triangle, and right by the notorious Noah's Lounge and Levels Lounge that have both been discussed multiple times here in this forum. The man stated that he had been drinking. Forum viewers have been repeatedly advised to avoid Johnny's Food Truck after dark, and this is the latest example of why. That stretch of Broad is a $hit$how, especially during the summer months.
Juneteenth exuberance? There were shootings at celebrations all over the country.
