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.
