At least one person is dead and others injured after a “family dispute” led to shots being fired at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, Monday afternoon, according to the Providence Journal.
Police were first alerted to the shooting around 2:28 p.m.
FOX News pointed to an ATF source that indicated the shooting “stemmed from a domestic violence incident and turned into a murder-suicide.” It occurred during a high school hockey game.
The source said that the “gunman killed his wife and shot two of his kids before turning the gun on himself.” The gunman is reportedly deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Local 12 noted that police are not searching for another shooter.
The teams playing hockey at the time of the shooting “were Coventry-Johnston co-op and St. Raphael-Providence Country Day-North Providence-North Smithfield co-op.”
The Providence Journal is reporting that one of the individuals who was wounded in the shooting died at the hospital.
