NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WPRI) — New Bedford police responded Sunday night to a report of gunshots at a bar on Acushnet Avenue.
Lt. Scott Carola told 12 News the call came in around 7 p.m. from the Whiskey Lounge.
Police arrived to find a “shooting scene,” Carola said, but he didn’t specify what the officers found.
A short time later, a man showed up at St. Luke’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Carola.
The incident remains under investigation, but Carola said the man’s injuries appeared to be the result of an “accidental discharge.”
