Thomas Geruso, one of the victims who survived the mass shooting in Pawtucket last month, has been released from the hospital.
Geruso’s family said in a statement that he was discharged on Thursday.
“He is now focused on recovering at home with support from his family,” said Dante Bellini, a family spokesperson. “For now, he asks for continued privacy.”
Three people died in the Feb. 16 shooting at the Dennis M. Lynch arena in Pawtucket. Roberta Dorgan shot and killed their wife, Rhonda; son, Aidan; and father-in-law, Gerald.
Gerald Dorgan’s wife, Linda Dorgan, also survived and remains in the hospital.
The shooting unfolded in a crowded ice rink filled with high school athletes and their families, sending waves of panic through Rhode Island just a few weeks after a mass shooting at nearby Brown University.
Police soon determined the shooting was a targeted murder-suicide.
Geruso, 54, is an educator at Shea High School in Pawtucket. His family set up a verified GoFundMe to help with expenses.
“The outpouring of support from our family, friends, and community has meant more to
us than we can put into words,” the family said in a statement after the shooting. “The prayers, messages, meals, and countless acts of kindness have helped sustain us as we navigate each hour.”
