A 15-year-old girl was killed and three others wer A 15-year-old girl was killed and three others were seriously injured Saturday evening in Portsmouth when a portion of the Portuguese-American Citizens Club collapsed during a high school graduation party, police and fire officials confirmed.

Emergency crews from Portsmouth and surrounding communities — including Fall River, Bristol, Middletown, and Naval Station Newport — responded to the scene following reports of individuals trapped under debris.

Two 17-year-old females and a 47-year-old woman were transported to Rhode Island Hospital with serious injuries, officials said. Their current conditions have not been released.

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee posted on social media that his office is “closely monitoring the situation” and extended condolences to those affected. “Our hearts are with the Portuguese community and all those impacted,” McKee said, thanking first responders and expressing hope for the victims’ recovery.

Authorities have not released the identities of those involved. The cause of the structural failure remains under investigation.

A 32-foot sailboat ran aground Saturday morning ju A 32-foot sailboat ran aground Saturday morning just below the Southeast Lighthouse on Block Island, prompting a swift response from the U.S. Coast Guard.

The vessel is considered a total loss, but both individuals onboard managed to safely escape using their dinghy. They were met and assisted by the Coast Guard. No injuries were reported.

The incident occurred near a hazardous stretch of shoreline known for its steep, unstable bluffs.

Officials are urging the public to stay away from the wreck site. “Do not climb over the fence to get photos or take a closer look,” authorities warned. The area is extremely dangerous, and any rescue operation triggered by trespassers could put responders at serious risk.

Salvage operations will take place under safer conditions, according to local authorities.
