CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (WPRI) — A 15-year-old boy and a 40-year-old woman were arrested this week in connection with a shooting in Central Falls.
Evelyn Aponte, of West Warwick, and the teenager are both facing several charges including felony assault, according to Central Falls police.
Police said they were called to the area of 1000 Broad Street around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and arrived to find a Pawtucket man suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the foot. He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment.
