Fall River Police issue update on Monday morning shooting
According to scanner transmissions, a person was shot this morning.
Fall River Police have issued an update involving the shooting Monday morning.
According to Sergeant J.T. Hoar, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Fall River Police responded to the area of Pleasant Street and Thomas Street for a report of a shooting. Officers located a 23-year old male victim who was suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the leg. Officers began immediately rendering aid to the victim and also used a tourniquet to aid in stabilizing the victim. He was then transported by Fall River Fire Department EMS to Rhode Island Hospital where he remains in critical condition. The identity of the victim will not be released at this time due to the nature of the incident and the ongoing investigation.
The initial investigation led the Fall River Police Department to believe there were possibly two suspects involved and who fled in a motor vehicle. A description of the vehicle and suspects is not available at this time. The Fall River Police Major Crimes Division is actively investigating to clarify additional details regarding the suspect(s) and suspect vehicle. More information will follow later today.
