Woonsocket Radio News Room

All,

 

The Woonsocket Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred early this morning just after midnight.  Officers were dispatched to the area outside of 156 Logee St for one report of gun shots.  Upon arrival and a canvass of the area, officers located a 33 year old male Woonsocket resident behind a nearby address.  The male was suffering from a gunshot wound.  Rescue was immediately dispatched and subsequently transported the man to Rhode Island Hospital.  The victim has undergone emergency surgery.  We believe his condition is critical.

 

No one else was injured.  No arrests have been made at this time.  Detectives are actively investigating this incident.  At this time, this is all of the information were able to release.  As information we’re able to release becomes available, we will do so.   Thank you.

 

Onward,

The House Oversight Committee plans to hold hearings on fraud allegations within Minnesota's social services programs. Committee Chairman James Comer invited Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz and its Attorney General Keith Ellison to testify on February 10th. Walz's office issued a statement said the governor is "happy to work with Congress," while also pointing to the committee's track record for holding what he called "circus hearings that have nothing to do with the issue at hand."        Over 20-million Americans are now facing higher health insurance costs after federal tax subsidies expired at year's end. The average cost of premiums through the Affordable Care Act is now expected to rise by 26-percent across the U.S., though it could be lower in states that run their own marketplace. Millions of people are expected to drop their health insurance because of the price hikes.        A lake-effect snowstorm is bringing heavy snow to the Great Lakes region to start the new year. Snow is expected to fall through Friday, with varying snowfall totals. Forecasters expect snow totals downwind of Lake Ontario could approach three feet in parts of upstate New York by Saturday morning. Totals could range from eight to 12 inches south of Buffalo, and parts of Pennsylvania could see up to a foot of new snow by Saturday morning.        Police are still looking for a suspect in the murders of an Ohio dentist and his wife. Columbus Police said officers responding for a welfare check at a residence on Tuesday morning discovered the bodies and 37-year-old Spencer Tepe and 39-year-old Monique Tepe. Officials have said there were no immediate signs of forced entry. However, no gun was found near the victims, so a murder-suicide does not seem likely. Two children under the age of six were also found unharmed in the home.        Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, is admitting it created explicit images of minors. Grok replied to a user's posts Thursday saying there had been "isolated cases where users prompted for and received AI images depicting minors in minimal clothing." In another post, Grok acknowledged that xAI could face possible Justice Department probes or lawsuits due to the images. On Friday, Grok said, "We've identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them."        Miami is hosting the NHL Winter Classic tonight.
