WESTERLY, R.I. — A shooting at a Rhode Island affordable housing complex for elderly and disabled residents left one person dead and two others injured Thursday, state police said.
Col. James Manni told The Providence Journal that the shooting happened Thursday morning in Westerly, a town along the Connecticut state line.
He said the shooter is still at large.
Two of the victims were taken to the hospital, the newspaper reported. The extent of their injuries was unclear.
Reports of gunfire at the Babcock Village apartments prompted Westerly public schools, Westerly Hospital and some nearby business into lockdown as a precaution.
Police lifted the lockdown at around 12:45 p.m., though it was unclear why. The school district dismissed students early.
