Here’s the latest verified update on the reported Lincoln Mall shooting incident in Lincoln, Rhode Island — not an active shooter situation on George Washington Highway (that appears unrelated to this particular incident):
📍 Lincoln Mall Shooting Update
- Police in Lincoln, Rhode Island responded late Tuesday night after multiple people reported hearing gunfire in the Lincoln Mall parking lot around 9:42 p.m..
- Officers canvassed the scene and spoke with witnesses who heard the shots, but so far there are no confirmed victims, injuries, or reports of anyone struck by gunfire.
- Early indications from law enforcement suggest the incident was not a random act of violence — authorities believe the shots were likely fired by individuals who were together at the time, and not part of an “active shooter” targeting the public.
