PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) --- Police are responding to reports of multiple people
hurt in a shooting at a Rhode Island ice rink where a youth hockey game was
scheduled.
Little detail was immediately available about the shooting Monday afternoon at
Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, a few miles outside Providence.
Outside the arena, tearful families and high school hockey players still in
uniform could be seen hugging before they boarded a bus to leave the area.
Roads surrounding the arena were shut down as a heavy police presence remained
and helicopters flew overhead.
Messages seeking comment were left for Pawtucket police and a spokesperson for
the city's mayor. An email message left for a spokesperson with a local
hospital also was not immediately returned.
Pawtucket is nestled just north of Providence and right under the Massachusetts
state border. A town of just under 80,000, Pawtucket had up until recently been
known as the home to Hasbro's headquarters, and Mr. Potato Head license plates
are proudly featured on vehicles around the town.
