PROVIDENCE, RI -- A 29-year-old Providence man is hospitalized in critical condition, the police said, after he was shot during an attempted robbery Friday night at his house on Bergen Street.
The police responded to a call from the house at about 9:50 p.m. and found Wilfred Ramos lying on his kitchen floor with his leg bleeding heavily.
Ramos told police that two men in black hooded sweatshirts came to the back door and demanded, "Give us all your money!" and then fired several shots, one of which hit Ramos.
Ramos was taken by rescue to Rhode Island Hospital, said Police Major Thomas Verdi, where he remained Saturday in critical condition.
Nothing was taken from the house.
