PAWTUCKET — Police are searching for two male suspects in connection with an armed robbery where several shots were fired that took place early Saturday morning at the Esperanza Social Club at 212 Weeden St., Pawtucket Police said.

According to Pawtucket Police, two armed males entered the club at around 2 a.m. and robbed several patrons who were inside. When one of the patrons refused to surrender his wallet, one of the suspects allegedly discharged a handgun an unknown number of times. No one was injured, however.
