- Just before 3 p.m. Monday, a shooting at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket during a high school hockey game killed three people and hospitalized three others, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said.
- Goncalves said the incident may have stemmed from a family dispute, investigators said the shooting appeared targeted, and details remain unreleased as work continues.
- Video reviewed by NewsCenter 5 shows hockey players rushing across the ice as bystanders, including Michael Black, tackled the shooter and dropped additional magazines, Bienick said.
- Pawtucket Mayor Donald R. Grebien said the scene was traumatic for families as players were bused to reunification sites and multiple hospitals treated victims, some critically, with local police and mutual aid partners providing a heavy police presence.
