At a youth high‑school hockey game at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, 56‑year‑old Robert Dorgan opened fire, fatally wounding his ex‑wife Rhonda Dorgan, their 23‑year‑old son Aidan and Rhonda’s 75‑year‑old father Gerald before dying of an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot; three others, including Rhonda’s mother and a family friend, were critically injured. Pawtucket police released body‑camera video showing chaotic aftermath as bystanders who intervened subdued the shooter and civilians and medical responders provided emergency care, and investigators say the attack appears to have been a targeted family dispute while probing Dorgan’s background and legally purchased firearms.
