Police have identified the shooter who opened fire at a high school hockey match in Rhode Island, killing two people and injuring three others.The targeted shooting took place at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket on Monday (16 February), at around 2:30 pm local time.Robert Dorgan, who also used the alias Roberta Esposito, shot at his wife and their three children before turning the gun on himself, a source told Fox News. A woman told WCVB that her father was the shooter.

“He shot my family, and he’s dead now,” the unidentified woman said, adding that he ‘has mental health issues’.No hockey players were harmed in the shooting, as Coventry player Olin Lawrence thought he heard a balloon pop during the match.”I was on the ice and I thought it was balloons at first – it was like ‘bop, bop,’ and I thought it was balloons, but this kept going – and it was actually gunshots,” he recalled.And after the gunshots, me and my teammates ran right to the locker room and we just bunkered up and we pressed against the door and we tried to stay safe down there.But it was very scary, we were very nervous.”What should have been a joyful occasion, with dozens of families, students, and supporters gathered to celebrate Senior Night was instead marked by violence and fear,” Pawtucket Mayor Don Grebien said in a statement.Our prayers go out to the victims, their families, and everyone impacted by this devastating incident.”Pawtucket is a strong and resilient community, but tonight we are a city in mourning. We will stand together to support all those affected in the difficult days ahead, and we will keep the public updated as confirmed facts become available.”
