Police Say Home Invasion was Drug Related

Two men invaded a Woonsocket home early Thursday morning intent on stealing drugs and cash, and two people were shot multiple times in the process, Woonsocket Police Capt. Edward Lee said in a press conference Thursday afternoon. 

Lee would not identify the narcotics the men aimed to steal when they allegedly invaded the 65/67 West Park Place home just after 2 a.m. Further details from the 1 p.m. press conference are available in the attached video.
