Former Providence police Officer Nicholas Gianquitti was arrested and ordered held without bail Monday on a murder charge. The Cranston police chief, Stephen McGrath, said the shooting occurred at Gianquitti’s home on a quiet, dead-end street with children present.

Gianquitti was on the force in Providence in 1992 and 1993 before he injured his knee and went on disability.
