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

Nine residents died and about 30 other residents were transported for medical assistance in a Fall River assisted living facility.

Today it is nearly impossible to think of anything else but the loss and suffering being endured by so many because of the fire," Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha said in a statement Monday.
