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.

The woman, who did not provide her name, was exiting the Pawtucket Police Department with a man and a child when she offered that information.

"My father was the shooter," she said.

"He shot my family, and he's dead now," she also said.

When will these troons stop. They have some sort of rage inside of them. We need to declare them a national threat.

Inb4 the fucking played out mass shooter joke. It was funny in 2015-2016 when Hats first came up with it, not so much 11-10 years later when it's been ran into the ground and back. I stand by this, I'll take my trashcans and tophats.

That guy was a walking red flag, really makes you wonder how many more are walking around without anything being done about the constant threat of them committing murder suicide.

Someone else said this before, I think it was @The handsome tard, but it was always stuck with me because of how true it is:
Trannies are literal sleeper agents, and its a matter of if, not when, they make the world suffer for their evil choices.
