3 people, including suspect, killed in shooting at Rhode Island high school hockey game

Three people were killed in a shooting Monday, including the suspect, at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Three other shooting victims were hospitalized in critical condition, according to Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves. She did not divulge the nature of their injuries.

Goncalves told reporters that officers were dispatched to Dennis M. Lynch Arena to respond to reports of the shooting just before 2:30 p.m. ET. Per Goncalves, officers found the suspected shooter dead at the scene due to a potential self-inflicted gunshot wound.

One victim was found dead at the scene and another died after arriving at a local hospital. Goncalves did not release personal information or details about the victims or the suspected shooter, explaining that family notifications had not yet been made.

“It appears that this was a targeted event, that it may be a family dispute,” Goncalves told reporters.
