On Feb. 16, 2026, authorities said three people, including the suspect, were killed in a shooting at Dennis M. Lynch Arena during a youth hockey game.
Police say the incident is believed to be domestic, with the gunman targeting members of his own family and possibly involving parents of North Providence students.
Local outlets WJAR and WPRI reported a young girl was killed, four people were taken to hospital, and Pawtucket Chief Tina Goncalves said three hospitalized victims are in critical condition.
Authorities urged the public as ATF and Rhode Island State Police joined local law enforcement, roads were closed, and officials said they are working on reunification plans.
