             HONORING THE LIVES OF RHONDA AND AIDEN DORGAN

  (Mr. AMO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)

[[Page H2307]]

  

  Mr. AMO. Mr. Speaker, today, as Rhode Island digs out from a historic 
blizzard, we rise to honor two Rhode Islanders, Rhonda and Aiden 
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 in the shooting and remain 
in the hospital.
  Today, we hold in the light the victims, their families, the teams, 
school communities, and the broader Rhode Island community as they work 
to heal from, yet again, another act of gun violence.
  I thank Mayor Donald Grebien, Governor Dan McKee, law enforcement, 
and local leaders for their leadership in their response to this 
senseless tragedy.
  We are grateful to the first responders for their prompt action on 
the scene and medical professionals for caring for the wounded.
  We are forever indebted to the ordinary Rhode Islanders who stepped 
up to stop the violence and care for the wounded. Some of them include 
Michael Black, Robert Rattenni, Ryan Cordeiro, Chris Librizzi, Glenn 
Narodowy, and Maryann Rattenni.
  We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
  We continue to stand together to heal and work toward the safety that 
we all deserve, and I ask my colleagues to join me in a moment of 
silence.
