Two people were killed and three others critically injured in a shooting at a high school boys' hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Monday afternoon, according to police. The incident, which occurred at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, appears to have been a targeted event stemming from a family dispute, with the suspect reportedly dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Federal agents from the ATF and FBI responded to assist state and local law enforcement at the scene. The shooting took place during a senior night hockey game involving multiple schools, including Coventry, East Providence, and Saint Rays. Students from different schools were playing on the same team. The Coventry boys' hockey team was playing at the rink at the time of the shooting, and all their student athletes have been accounted for. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee expressed his prayers for Pawtucket and those affected by the incident. The incident has sparked a range of reactions, with some questioning the nature of the dispute and the potential for similar incidents in the future.
