PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A deadly shooting during a youth hockey game in Rhode Island last week has identified a third victim, a grandfather whose daughter and grandson were also killed in the attack, authorities said Wednesday.
Gerald Dorgan, who was in critical condition, died from his injuries, according to Pawtucket police.
Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien said he was saddened that another person has died as a result of the shooting.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim’s family, friends and all those affected by this tragic act of violence,” he said in a statement.
Dorgan’s daughter Rhonda Dorgan and grandson Aidan Dorgan were also killed in the shooting.
Police identified the shooter as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities said Dorgan also went by the names Roberta Esposito and Roberta Dorgano. Robert Dorgan’s former wife was Rhonda Dorgan and adult son was Aidan Dorgan.
Authorities have said the shooter was specifically targeting family members.
Rhonda Dorgan’s mother, Linda Dorgan, and a family friend, Thomas Geruso, were injured.
Law enforcement credited several people who intervened and quickly stopped the attack. At least three spectators were able to stop the shooter in the middle of the stands as the crowd ran up and down around them.
