Amo Leads House of Representatives in a Moment of Silence for Victims of Pawtucket Shooting

WASHINGTON, DC – TODAY, Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI) led a moment of silence for the victims, survivors, and those who acted with courage in response to the shooting at the Pawtucket Lynch Arena on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“We rise today to honor two Rhode Islanders, Rhonda and Aidan Dorgan, whose lives tragically ended in the horrific shooting at a high school hockey game last week in Pawtucket. Three other Rhode Islanders were injured and remain in the hospital. We hold in the light the victims, their families, the teams, and broader Rhode Island community as they work to heal from yet another act of senseless gun violence,” said Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI). “I thank Mayor Donald Grebien of Pawtucket, Governor Dan McKee, and local leaders for their response to this senseless tragedy. We’re grateful to the first responders for their prompt action and medical professionals for caring for the wounded. We’re forever indebted to the ordinary Rhode Islanders who stepped up to stop the violence and care for the wounded. We continue to stand together to work towards the safety we all deserve.”
