Two killed in shooting at US youth hockey game (VIDEO)
A shooter opened fire during a boys’ hockey game in the US state of Rhode Island on Monday, killing two people.
The shooting took place at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket during a matchup between Coventry/Johnston and Blackstone Valley Co-op.
Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said the attack appears to have been targeted and stemmed from a family dispute. She added that, after killing two people, the suspect died from what authorities believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
She identified the shooter as Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta Esposito and was born in 1969.
Three people were hospitalized in critical condition, police said.
According to The Providence Journal, at least 14 shots were fired, and the game’s live stream shows players and spectators ducking and fleeing in panic.
