PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Three people, including the suspect, were fatally shot during a Rhode Island youth hockey game Monday, authorities said.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told reporters that three other victims are hospitalized in critical condition.

“It appears that this was a targeted event, that it may be a family dispute,” she said. Goncalves did not provide details about the suspect or the ages of those who were killed, though she said it appeared that both victims were adults.

Authorities were continuing to try to piece together what happened and speak with witnesses, she said.

The shooting happened 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.

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.

This story has been corrected to show that the shooting occurred on Monday, not Tuesday.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. —
Following a deadly shooting in the stands during a Rhode Island high school hockey game, a woman told NewsCenter 5 that her father was the shooter.

The woman, who did not provide her name, was exiting the Pawtucket Police Department with a man and a child when she offered that information.

"My father was the shooter," she said.

"He shot my family, and he's dead now," she also said.

I am interested in seeing how Reddit copes. I don't think they know the details yet. Nazi tranny will break their brains.

Unsurprisingly they just fixate on him being MAGA or a nazi or just do the America bad thing.

So you can blame all of maga for a shooting, but not all trannies.

Is this the one that finally breaks containment, I wonder? There’s only so many of these that can suppressed as ‘not all trannies’ before even the normies reeeeally start side eyeing them, something a lot easier now that they aren’t nearly so protected.

I heard a report on this the other day. They claimed that trannies only account for 0.5% of mass shootings. The statistics are skewed because "mass shootings" include things like gang shootings, BBQ shootings, rap concert shootings and other incidents of gun violence that only affect a very specific community.

When it comes to trannies, people should look for shootings that target children and/or are political in nature.

They weren't real trans.
A real trans shooting hasn't been tried yet.

The statistics don't include those things, actually, and blacks are still overrepresented.

This dude was an obvious aggro narcissistic psychopath. Looking at his photos and tweets I'm actually quite shocked that he waited until his 50s to kill. But with him being a trucker, I hope they run his DNA against unsolved rape and murder cases.

I can't help but think, that is someone had just brought him the pink tutu like he asked for his birthday, none of this would have happened.

Or look at it another way.

If trannies are allegedly a percent of a percent of the population, then two unrelated mass shooters in roughly a week is a huge portion of this tiny minority.

Ergo, by those numbers a troon is substantially more likely to be a mass shooter than any other demographic.

Local blue city news outlet reported on the shooting this morning. They acknowledged the shooter used the name Roberta, but the reporter used he and male pronouns. No tranny shooter here, just another man in a dress.

Sidenote: the TV station is owned by Disney.

I like this little graph they've put up on the page to deboonk the transphobes.

How do they know all of those 5,740 shooters they label cisgender weren't trannies, closeted or not? Have they asked them what their special gender identity is?

Also, this page conveniently doesn't mention anything about specifically sexual violence because it would've been harder to deboonk the fact that male troons are extremely overrepresented as perpetrators in that department.

 

[Pargon]

Wasn’t betting on trannies themselves being the ones most loudly begging for the Right-Wing Death Squads, but here we are I suppose

How much longer before these lunatics are just KOS?

Every day that goes by that Fuentes is alive makes me realize we are truly living in the darkest timeline.

lmao no, they're already sexually excited about the MAGA angle.

Tranny politics are "ironic", they vocally espouse what they think does the most harm and oppose what they sincerely consider good for the country / humanity. A "MAGA" troon is a corrupted lib, a "commie" troon is a corrupted conservative.

Pawtucket shooter's gender identity tied to past family disputes, court records show

Unsurprised that this loon was weaponising the court system against his father-in-law and his own mother. In both cases charges were initially filed, but then dismissed, likely for being completely unbelievable. The fact that charges were filed at all shows how much troons could get away with in 2020.

I'm sure his 70+ year old mother was very physically threatening to the 6 foot 230 lbs brickhon gymbro.

Hatred is an intoxicating thing. There’s probably a litany of reasons why people hate their own communities -- how many of us hate our jobs, and our schools, and the people we're surrounded by, after all? -- but with troons, that hatred is taken beyond the normal sense of temporary frustration we all encounter. In short, troons fall in love with their own hatred, to the point where their bitterness, and their resentment, and their utter spite of the world around them becomes their internal power source. It defines who they are, and it makes them feel powerful and unique as individuals. You combine that self-defining local culture hatred with a sense of existential gloom, and you have perfect conditions for a mass shooter to arise. Tack on a psychotic condition (what gender dysphoria is) and a familiarity with deadly weapons, and now you’re basically staring at an unlit powder keg, ready to go off at any minute.
