The YMCA of Pawtucket is deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred at Lynch Arena.

 

We extend our heartfelt support to those who were injured, their families, and all who have been impacted by this tragic act of violence. Our thoughts are especially with the students, parents, coaches, staff, and the entire community whose sense of safety has been shaken.

 

We are grateful to the Pawtucket Police Department, first responders, arena staff, and community members who acted quickly and courageously.

 

At the YMCA, our mission is to strengthen the community. In moments like this, that commitment matters more than ever. We stand together to support one another, to grieve, and to move forward toward healing with compassion, resilience, and hope.
