3 Dead, Including Suspect, in Rhode Island Hockey Game Shooting

A youth hockey game descended into chaos Monday afternoon when a gunman opened fire inside a Rhode Island ice arena, killing two people before turning the gun on himself, according to authorities.

Three others were rushed to hospitals in critical condition following the shooting at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, a small city just north of Providence near the Massachusetts border, according to the Pawtucket Police Department.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a news conference that the violence appeared to stem from a personal conflict rather than a random attack.

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

The chief did not release the identities of the suspect or the two victims but indicated that both of those killed appeared to be adults. Investigators were still working to reconstruct the sequence of events and interview witnesses at the scene, according to Goncalves.
