Foxy Lady in Providence closed today

The Providence branch of the Foxy Lady strip club will be closed today because of the deadly shooting in New Bedford.

Three people were killed early this morning when a Freetown man who had been barred from the New Bedford club opened fire, killing a security guard and club manager Tory Marandos, 30, before apparently turning the gun on himself, according to the police and the club owner. (Read the full story.)

Marandos "was one of the best guys," according to a woman standing in the parking lot of the Providence club this morning who said she was a waitress, but declined to give her name. The club was set to open at 11:30 a.m., but a sign on the door said it would be closed all day.

"It's just too sad," said another woman outside the Chalkstone Avenue club today who said she worked there, but declined to give her name.
