Woonsocket Shooting Suspect Turns Himself In to Police

Less than 24 hours after a pair of shootings, Woonsocket police have the suspected gunman in custody.

Nineteen-year-old Zackary Alvarado turned himself in to police on Friday after police obtained a warrant for his arrest in connection with the shootings that injured four who were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.

Alvarado is now facing four counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon, firing in a compact area, disorderly conduct and carrying a pistol without a permit.

He is expected to go before a bail commissioner Friday evening.

The shootings happened at around 1 a.m. One was by Aly’s Pub.

The owner of the pub told WPRI that he watched a surveillance video that showed a group of people involved in an altercation that appears to have started across the street at a different bar.

“A car stopped in the middle of the road here on River Street. People got out, they were yelling at a car sitting in the parking lot. Next thing you know, some guy got out of that car, waving a gun. People started to run and he just started shooting,” Tom Bouckaert told WPRI.
