CCTV captured the horrifying moment as shots began to ring out … showing fans in the stands taking cover while players dove for safety in the box.
Players and referees rushed off the ice as fast as they could.
The tragic shooting left three dead — two victims and the suspect — according to NBC 10. Several others have been hospitalized.
At a press conference, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves offered some more details about the shockingly violent incident.
“It appears this was a targeted event,” Chief Goncalves said, “that it may be a family dispute.”
The ATF told FOX News that it was a domestic violence incident in which the gunman allegedly killed his wife and shot two of his kids before turning the gun on himself.
