Central Falls police investigating a drive-by shooting

CENTRAL FALLS -- Police are investigating a drive-by shooting today in which someone in a gray SUV shot at a person riding on a bike while he passed in front of a tax service business at Dexter and Darling streets.

Neither the person on the bike or anyone else was hurt during the shooting which occurred at 12:55 p.m., said Central Falls Police Chief Joseph Moran.

Moran said the person riding the bike was the intended target. “It was not a random shooting,” he said. The person was lucky he was not hit, Moran said. He said he did not know if the victim and shooter know each other but police are investigating that and other aspects of the shooting.

The bullets hit the window of the business.
