OK, Shanelle. Flag us. Keep us posted. Thank you. And Shanelle was telling us a little bit more about the Denis Lynch Ice Arena. According to VisitRhodeIsland.com. This is as she mentioned indoor ice skating rink founded in 2000, open year round. They offer public skating as well as ice hockey leagues, figure and ice skating lessons, and learn to skate, learn to play programs. Let's bring in the head of our crime and policing unit, Anna Schechter now. So, Anna, given that description of this ice rink, fair to say that there would have been adolescents at this time at the rink at 3:28 or earlier. That's right. Around 3:00 is when this played out right at the end of school, potentially a hockey game for the high school team, maybe a practice. But we know that police were on the scene, EMTs on the scene, and what Shanelle was just reporting from the Broadcastify potentially five victims. We have not gotten that confirmed from law enforcement, so we're still working on this to determine the number of victims and the suspect-- the condition of the suspect.

Right now, we are watching chopper footage here from one of our affiliates. So if you guys see that it's flickering in and out of black, that's why. We're just susceptible here to this feed. But right now, it looks like we're seeing aerials at a nearby-- I can't tell if it's the same facility or if the chopper flew away a little bit because I see a school bus there. Perhaps a school bus was parked in the parking lot there of that ice arena, or perhaps the chopper flew away a little ways.

Yeah, people are gathered though, clearly gathering. You wouldn't see that number of people outside right now. So you can just imagine they probably walked everybody out who was inside that arena. That's a really tough thing to secure. You're inside, you're sitting ducks, probably just one or two exits. So they would have walked everybody out. Hands up generally. That's how it works. Now you're seeing people gathered outside in the parking lot area.
