Police investigating shooting on East Side/Pawtucket line

PAWTUCKET -- Local police are investigating a shooting this morning on the edge of Providence's East Side.

Authorities are not immediately releasing any information, but they have blocked part of East Avenue from the base of Blackstone Boulevard to Pidge Street.

Several bullet casings were left in the parking lot of the Cumberland Farms on the corner of Pidge Street and East Avenue, and a car involved in the incident has crashed and is lying on its side in front of a nearby auto repair shop, Tomasso Auto, on East Avenue.

The police have not released any information about the driver of the car. One ambulance is on the scene.
