PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) -- Providence police are investigating another shooting in the capital city.

Police tell Eyewitness News that around 12:30 a.m. Sunday a man was pulling into his driveway at 28 Henry Street when another dark-colored vehicle pulled in behind him. 

The victim told investigators that someone got out of the second vehicle and fired three to five shots at him.

Two of those .22 caliber bullets grazed the victim in the face, police said.  He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment of his injuries, which are not life-threatening.

The shooter got back in the vehicle and fled the scene. No arrests have been made.

Neighbors tell Eyewitness News they heard three shots -- and this was not the first time police had been at that home in recent months.
