One person shot, another pistol-whipped when masked men break into home, police say

PROVIDENCE − One person was shot and another was pistol-whipped Wednesday night after a group of masked men broke into a home in the Washington Park neighborhood, according to Providence police.

The men kicked in doors to two bedrooms simultaneously at about 10:30 p.m., screaming, "Where's the money?," said a Providence police spokeswoman, Lindsay Lague, adding that three shots were fired.

The group of invaders involved as many as five men.

One of the victims jumped out a second-floor window, Lague said.

An investigation continues, she said.
