Two victims were killed and several were injured from an apparently targeted shooting at an ice skating rink in Rhode Island on Monday, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The gunshots rang out around 2:30 p.m. at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, about 5 miles outside of Providence, according to Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves.<\/p>\n

Besides the two victims killed, three people who were shot and injured have been taken to a hospital in critical condition, police said.<\/p>\n

The shooting appears to be a targeted and “family-related,” the chief said, describing it as possibly a family dispute.<\/p>\n

The suspect is dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. The FBI added that there’s “no imminent threat to public safety.”<\/p>\n
