Two people were killed and three others critically injured in a targeted shooting at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, on Monday afternoon, according to police. The suspect, identified as Robert Dorgan, also known as Roberta Esposito, died at the scene from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said.
The gunshots rang out around 2:30 p.m. at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, about five miles outside of Providence, according to ABC News. The incident occurred during a high school boys' hockey game. Police have indicated the shooting appeared to be a "targeted" incident involving a family dispute, CBS News reported. A Good Samaritan intervened, which "probably…led to a swift end of this tragic event," Goncalves told reporters Monday night, as reported by CBS News.
Federal agents from multiple agencies were on the scene to assist with the investigation, according to CBS News. Authorities have not yet released details about the victims or the nature of the family dispute.
