PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Police continue to investigate a weekend shooting in Pawtucket that left a 22-year-old man dead.

Police say officers responding to reports of a shooting went to the area of Lonsdale Avenue at Mineral Spring Avenue at around 10:45 p.m. Saturday.

A short time later, the victim showed up at Miriam Hospital with a single gunshot wound.
