PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — The father of a North Providence High School senior shot five members of the student’s family at a hockey game Monday, killing two and injuring three others before killing himself, Target 12 has confirmed.

The student’s mother was killed at the rink, while a sibling died at the hospital, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the incident.

The three other family members were in critical condition at Rhode Island Hospital as of late Monday afternoon, a spokesperson for Brown Health confirmed. No names have been released so far.

This is horrifying
