Of the nine, three had serious injuries and were "maybe critical," Providence Police Chief Colonel Hugh T Clements told reporters at the scene. He said multiple guns were used and it involved an "ongoing feud" involving two groups known to authorities. He said the shooting began with gunfire emanating from a vehicle, targeting a home. A person or people inside the home then returned fire. He described the participants as "young men."
