Two Dead After Monday Night Shootings In Newport County

Two men are dead after two shootings Monday night on Ford Farm Road in Tiverton.

WPRI reported that two elderly men are dead after police chased down and shot a suspect after he allegedly shot another man in a cemetery.

No information has been released about the motive for the shooting, nor have the identities of the men involved.

Monday marked a particularly violent and bloody day in Newport County after a Portsmouth man was stabbed eight times just off of Broadway in Newport early Monday morning.
