Providence police shoot man on Hanover Street

PROVIDENCE – A police officer shot a man sometime before 10 a.m. in the vicinity of 101 Hanover St., according to Maj. Stephen Campbell and Maj. Paul Fitzgerald.

About 20 officers are in the area after cordoning off about a half-block section of the neighborhood.

The man who was shot is alive, the police said.

Campbell and Fitzgerald declined to say more, as they were waiting for state police and the Attorney General’s Office to arrive on scene. At 10:20 a.m., state police were just arriving.
