PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- A city man was shot in the leg Saturday in a drive-by shooting on Meadow Street, just a few block from Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island, the police said.
Detectives said "four to five shots" were fired from a passing car shortly after 1 p.m. and one of the bullets struck the 28-year-old man who the police have not identified. He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital for what the police called "non-life threatening injuries."
"The crime is not believed to be random," said the police in a statement. "The victim in this case appears to have been targeted by the suspects."
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Detective Donti Rosciti at 727-9100, ext. 737.
