At least nine people were wounded in Rhode Island's capital on Thursday evening in what police believe to be the largest shooting in the city's history. Three of the gunshot victims were "very seriously injured, maybe critical," Providence Police Chief Col. Hugh Clements Jr. told reporters during a press conference at the scene. The shooting occurred outside a home in Providence's southeastern neighborhood of Washington Park, which Clements described as a typically quiet, family-friendly area. Police received the initial 911 call at 6:47 p.m. ET, following by several more calls. When police arrived on scene, they discovered several victims and "evidence of a large amount of gunfire" from "as many as four or five guns," the police chief said. Clements estimated that "several dozen" shots were fired.
