    PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Police are investigating after a woman was shot Thursday night in Providence.

    Major David Lapatin told 12 News the shooting occurred on Linton Street around 9:45 p.m.

    The 21-year-old woman was sitting in a parked car with a friend when they were approached by a group of people on motorcycles.

    The group got into an argument with the driver, who then took off. That’s when, according to Lapatin, that a single shot was fired into the car, hitting the woman.

    The victim’s friend drove her to Rhode Island Hospital. Lapatin said her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
