Fall River real estate agent shot in his office

FALL RIVER — A real estate agent shot at his longtime Fall River office last night was released from the hospital today, a Fall River Police Department spokesman said.

Antonio F. Alberto, 54, owner of Antonio Alberto Insurance and Real Estate Agency on Stafford Road, was going to meet clients shortly after 8 p.m. yesterday when the incident occurred.

When the police arrived, they found Alberto, a Somerset resident, had suffered a gunshot wound to the head area. He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital.

The police said he was released this morning. Additional information was not released because the police department’s Major Crimes Division is still investigating. The police have not made any arrests.
