<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nA high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, turned into a scene of horror on Monday night. Aidan Dorgan, 23, and his mother, Rhonda Dorgan, 52, were shot and killed inside Lynch Arena. Police say the shooter was Robert Dorgan, 56, who also went by the name Roberta Esposito. Officers say he later took his own life at the scene. The game was part of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League schedule. Players, families, and students were inside the rink when the violence broke out. Rhonda Dorgan died at the arena. Aidan Dorgan was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors later pronounced him dead.Two other family members, Aidan\u2019s grandparents, were hurt in the attack. According to a GoFundMe page set up by Rhonda\u2019s stepdaughter Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, they are in critical condition and fighting for their lives. Rhonda\u2019s youngest son, Colin Dorgan, 17, was playing in the game and saw the shooting happen from the ice. Police said Tuesday that the motive is still under investigation. Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves told reporters she believes the shooting was targeted and may have come from a family dispute.<\/p>\n <\/strong>By Tuesday morning, the Rhode Island Interscholastic League announced that games would be postponed. Executive Director Michael Lunney released a public statement.\u201cOur thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this horrific event,\u201d Michael Lunney said.

An online profile believed to belong to Robert Dorgan shared troubling posts in the days before the shooting.
