At least two people are dead in an apparent mass shooting at an indoor ice rink in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Monday afternoon, officials told the WPRI local news outlet.
Police confirmed to the outlet that the suspect is dead. A local sports reporter, Branden Mello, said that one of the shooting victims also died.
The shooting allegedly took place during a boys’ hockey game between two local schools.
Shots came from behind the stands, according to Mello. He also reported that a local father is being hailed as a “hero” after grabbing a gun from the shooter, though the shooter also had a second weapon.
Four people have been taken to the hospital.
