A shooting at a Rhode Island ice rink on Monday left two people dead, including a suspect, and four others injured, during a domestic violence altercation that turned deadly, sources told Fox News.
The gunshots rang out at the Dennis M Lynch Arena in Pawtucket during a hockey game between Coventry and Blackstone Valley Schools, WPRI.com reported.
A source with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) told Fox News that the shooting stemmed from a domestic violence incident and turned into a murder-suicide.
The source said the gunman killed his wife and shot two of his kids before turning the gun on himself. He shot his third child – who is currently hospitalized, the source said.
