PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A man is in critical condition after a late night shooting in Providence.
According to Providence Police Commander Thomas Verdi, a man was outside of Wonderland Gentlemen’s Club on Allens Ave., when he was shot several times.
Verdi said the victim, a man in his 30’s, was driven to the hospital by another person. He is now in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
Security employees told police that there was an argument between two groups of people inside the club. The groups were then separated and went in different ways.
