A young girl was killed and four other people were hospitalized after a gunman opened fire in the middle of a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon.
The full number of wounded was not immediately known, but the suspect in the broad daylight shooting died at the scene, WPRI reports.
The mayor’s office said that authorities aren’t searching for any additional suspects, according to a statement obtained by WJAR.
The shooting was reported at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, RI. The arena is home ice for the Johnson and Wales Wildcats hockey team.
Students from Coventry, Johnston, North Providence, and North Smithfield high schools were all participating in games with St. Raphael Academy and Providence Country Day School when the shooting occurred, according to reported by WJAR.
An employee at a nearby Walgreens told WPRI that people came streaming into the store following the shooting to report the incident.
The employee said staffers were instructed to close the store and evacuate the building. People then hid inside the store as a staff member called 911.
Branden Mello, a local sports editor, said the shooting happened at a hockey game between two rival high schools, Coventry and Blackstone Valley.

Moment shots were fired
The News9 story added this:
Pawtucket police say two adult victims are dead and three people are in critical condition in what investigators believe was a targeted shooting “that may be a family dispute.”
So is it like the funeral shootings, the birthday party ones and the family gathering mayhem ones?
“hockey game”
The one time we can safely say the shooter was not black
His name is an entire sentence.
This tendency is spreading from the ghettos and the barrios to the suburbs.
They’ve really advanced from their traditional wedding reception fistfights.
Daily Caller says it was a father shooting his wife and two kids, then himself.
Maybe the shooter was an ICE protestor. /sarc
No wonder the commie media isnt touching this one
No, you can’t say that…not in that location.
several blacks play hockey now ... several areas have “community” hockey paid by the taxpayers ...
Could be, based on the rate fire and the time lapse before the final shot.
Did that woman ever choose the wrong man for husband and the father of their children.
May they rest in peace.
Good Lord.
A domestic shooting. The father killed his wife and one of his daughters. The other daughter was wounded.
Sorry S.O.B. He took the coward’s way out and killed himself.
