Nine people were killed and one was critically injured in a fire at an assisted living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, authorities said. Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon called the fire at Gabriel House "an unfathomable tragedy.

Multiple people were killed Sunday night when a fire tore through an assisted living facility in Fall River, and many more were taken to hospitals in varying conditions, the Department of Fire Services said.

You could have had 100 firefighters show up on that scene and it wouldn’t have been enough,” the fire chief said at a news briefing outside the fire department’s headquarters Tuesday.
