“All students from the Coventry Boys Hockey team who were present at an incident at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket have been accounted for and are safe,” the school’s superintendent reported.
According to NBC affiliate WJAR, the suspect was wearing a woman’s dress:
NBC 10’s Dan Jaehnig reported, citing a law enforcement source, that the suspect was a father, who may have been dressed in women’s clothing, and that he intentionally targeted family members who were at the hockey game.

Images circulating on social media purport to show the suspect wearing a pink tank top, though it’s unclear if the particular image is from the latest happening.
