PROVIDENCE –– A 28-year-old Providence man was shot last night in his upper right thigh and found bleeding outside 6 Bodell Ave., which is in the Hartford Park housing complex, according to the police.
Providence fire rescue crews transported the man to Rhode Island Hospital shortly after the shooting was reported at 9:23 p.m.
Providence Lt. Luis San Lucas said the man’s condition was “stable.” He declined to release the man’s name.
Police detectives continued to investigate leads last night around 10:45 p.m. No arrests had been made, San Lucas said.
The man told the police that two men unknown to him had chased him and one of them shot him once, San Lucas said. Detectives were also investigating whether a stray bullet had entered an apartment on Bodell Avenue, San Lucas said.
