Assailant in Pawtucket hockey rink shooting killed ex-wife and son, family says
"Rhonda Dorgan and Aidan Dorgan, the shooter's ex-wife and son, were the two people killed Monday afternoon when Robert Dorgan opened fire at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, according to family members. Robert Dorgan - who also used the name Roberta and the surname Esposito - apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound during the violent incident at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, authorities have said."
"Speaking to The Boston Globe Tuesday, Dorgan's 20-year-old daughter, Ava Dorgan, confirmed her mother and older brother were shot and killed. Dorgan said her maternal grandparents, Linda and Jerry Dorgan, and a family friend were wounded and remain hospitalized in critical condition. While Pawtucket police have not yet named the shooting victims, their identities were also confirmed on a GoFundMe page created to raise money for Ava Dorgan and a surviving brother, a 17-year-old high school senior."
A man opened fire at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, killing his ex-wife and son and apparently dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Several relatives, including the victims' grandparents, and a family friend were wounded and hospitalized in critical condition. Police described the incident as a family dispute and said the two people killed appeared to be adults related to the shooter. A GoFundMe organized by a step-sibling confirmed identities and seeks to support two surviving children, including a 17-year-old high school senior. Court records show the ex-wife filed for divorce in February 2020 and the case finalized about a year later.
