“It seems like I’ve always got to go out far just to have a safe area for my children to be in,” Goode added. “Honestly, I thought the caution tape was for paint or something and then when they told me it was a shooting."“It’s sad to hear that thing is going on and not just in Providence but all over the country,” Steve Lovato, who is visiting Rhode Island for work, told WJAR. “Everyone needs to chill out, they really do, and take it easy.
