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.

President Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal after it reported that he sent Jeffrey Epstein a letter for Epstein's 50th birthday. After the story was published last night, Trump called it fake, and immediately threatened to sue owner Rupert Murdoch. Today, he followed through on his threat, alleging libel against Murdoch, the Journal's publisher, Dow Jones, and the story reporters in a lawsuit filed in Florida. The alleged letter sent to the late sex-trafficker featured typewritten text surrounded by a drawing of a naked woman.        Reports indicate it was military-style ordnance that exploded and killed three L-A County Sheriff's deputies Friday morning. The explosion happened at a training facility and rocked the surrounding East L-A neighborhood. Law enforcement sources tell the L-A Times the device had been picked up Thursday in Santa Monica. The blast happened when the deputies were moving the ordnance in the training center's parking lot.        The Justice Department wants a federal judge to unseal grand jury testimony regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case. In Friday's filing, the DOJ said releasing the evidence was "a matter of public interest." This comes a day after President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to have "pertinent" grand jury testimony released. It could take months for the records to be released.        A Minnesota lawmaker has been convicted of burglary. Democratic State Senator Nicole Mitchell was accused of breaking into her stepmother's Detroit Lakes home last year. Defense attorneys argued their client went to the residence only to check on her stepmother because of concerns about her Alzheimer's. It's unclear if she will continue to serve in the state Senate, where her party holds a one seat majority.        Travelers entering the U.S. will soon have to pay more. Visitors will now be subject to a "visa integrity fee" of 250 dollars. The new fee was included in the recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It applies to all visitors who need non-immigrant visas to enter. That includes tourists, business travelers and international students. It's not clear when the extra fee starts.        American songwriter Alan Bergman is dead at 99. Bergman and his wife, Marilyn, wrote lyrics for Academy Award-winning songs like "The Way We Were" for the film of the same name and "The Windmills of Your Mind," featured in "The Thomas Crown Affair." They also co-wrote the song "Never Say Never Again," the theme for the James Bond film. The Bergmans won three Oscars, as well as several Grammys and Emmys, over their decades-long career.
