PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) --- Three people, including the suspect, were fatally shot
during a Rhode Island youth hockey game Monday, authorities said.
Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told reporters that three other victims
are hospitalized in critical condition.
"It appears that this was a targeted event, that it may be a family dispute,"
she said. Goncalves did not provide details about the suspect or the ages of
those who were killed, though she said it appeared that both victims were
adults.
Authorities were continuing to try to piece together what happened and speak
with witnesses, she said.
The shooting happened at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, a few miles
outside Providence.
Outside the arena, tearful families and high school hockey players still in
uniform could be seen hugging before they boarded a bus to leave the area.
Roads surrounding the arena were shut down as a heavy police presence remained
and helicopters flew overhead.
Pawtucket is nestled just north of Providence and right under the Massachusetts
state border. A town of just under 80,000, Pawtucket had up until recently been
known as the home to Hasbro's headquarters.
