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.

I see that you put your right arm in, and then you took your right arm out, immediately after you then put your right arm back in, but I couldn't help but notice you didn't shake it all about.
*BLAM BLAM BLAM*
 
From the facts available, sounds like a divorce-related, attempted retribution to me. Divorced, abusive man murders ex-wife and her new boyfriend/husband, then thankfully is killed himself.

In any case good riddance to the suspect, hope he suffered a lot before dying.
 
theres a closeup video from the live broadcast of the game that shows a person in women's clothing pull out a gun and start shooting, quite tragic
 
I'm seeing around the Interwebs that this might be another trannie shooting. Boomer trooner

In the cropped and zoomed in video you can see the shooter wearing a woman's coat.

Time to take the guns away from trannies.

Yes, even the "based" right wing ones. If you can't figure out what sex you were born as, and want to force everyone around you to conform to "your " reality, then you are mentally unfit to own firearms.

Put the dresses away and become a fiery bottom, and then we can talk.

If it wasn't for a troon shooting and (likely) white victims I would've guessed gangs.
