PROVIDENCE — The police have confirmed an a previously undisclosed shooting that occurred early Saturday in South Providence.

Miguel Pizarro, 20, of 102 Ford St., in the West End, told the police that he was walking to a fried-chicken restaurant when he was shot, in the vicinity of Broad and Gallup streets, at about 2:30 a.m. After hearing the shots — he was unsure how many — all he could remember, he said, was that he fell to the ground.

Pizarro had at least one gunshot wound in his abdomen and he was treated at Rhode Island Hospital, where a stranger had taken him in his car, according to a police report made available yesterday. His medical status could not be ascertained.

In a previously publicized incident, two men were wounded in an unrelated shooting Saturday at the Chad Brown public housing project in Wanskuck — within minutes of the shooting of Pizarro.

Terrell Bliss, 19, of 57 Berkshire St., in Chad Brown, and Marcus Brown, 24, of 41 Oak St., in the West End, told the police that they had been sitting on wood railings between 64 June St. and 65 March St., at Chad Brown, when a car approached and they tried to walk away.

Each was shot once in a fusillade apparently unleashed from the car, according to the police. But neither man suffered a life-threatening wound.

Detectives recovered 12 .40-caliber shell casings from in front of 65 March.

The attacks on Pizarro, Bliss and Brown bring to at least 34 the number of shootings of people in the city in 2008. There has been a resurgence of gun violence after a several-year period in which the police had seemed to make headway on the problem.

The two shooting incidents were among a number of violent incidents over the three-day Fourth of July weekend, including at least two stabbings, a shooting into a house, and a disturbance in which a self-described peacemaker was slashed and shots were fired near the scene of a recent homicide.

A man who the police said was critically injured in one stabbing near 517 Potters Ave., Elmwood, was identified by the police yesterday as Britt Benford. Benford, 39, was released from the Adult Correctional Institutions on June 16.

Due to his serious medical condition, detectives have not been able to interview him at Rhode Island Hospital, Detective Lt. Robert Lepre said yesterday. As a result, they have not been able to confirm his home address.

A police report said he was stabbed in the back and that emergency personnel were summoned to the vicinity of the attack shortly after 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

Shortly before 3:30 a.m. the day before, on the holiday, the police said Matthew O’Connell, 28, of Central Falls, was stabbed twice, apparently in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven store at 548 Atwells Ave., Olneyville. O’Connell, who the police described as uncooperative in their questioning, suffered wounds to his arm and stomach that were not life-threatening.

In another incident, a person was slashed and shots were fired in the vicinity of 140 Eastwood St., during what was described as a large disturbance in the first few minutes of Saturday. The violence erupted 10 days after Virgilio Rojo, 17, was shot to death as he and a friend walked near 124 Eastwood.

The police said they were called to Eastwood and encountered numerous people fighting on or near the street. Emmanuel Kinama, 22, of 432 Public St., South Providence, told the police that when he attempted to break up a fight, he was slashed in his side and forearm with a broken beer bottle. He was treated at Rhode Island Hospital.

As the fights were going on, a man reportedly fired a handgun more than once into the air and then ran away. Nobody was hit.

In Elmwood, overnight Friday and Saturday, someone fired gunshots into a multifamily house in which a mother and her three children were asleep.

Christina Keller, 41, who lives with her children in a first-floor apartment at 112 Hamilton St., reported to the police at 8:30 a.m. Saturday that one bullet struck a second-floor door, another struck a side window, and a third pierced a front window and lodged in the ceiling. A police report of the incident did not suggest a reason for the shooting.

Officers recovered a bullet and bullet fragments.
