PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A Rhode Island man has told police he was leaving a bar when he noticed he’d been shot.

Police tell the Providence Journal (https://bit.ly/1lAWSlQ ) that 22-year-old Hector Aguayofuentes, of Providence, was shot in the leg early Saturday.

He tells police he was leaving the bar with a friend shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday when they both noticed he was bleeding.



They went to Hernandez’s house but were unable to stop the bleeding. He was eventually taken to a hospital, and police were notified.
