Mom says she ran back in hockey arena to find her son

The mother of one of the hockey players described seeing first responders performing CPR in the stands of the Dennis M. Lynch Arena after she ran back inside to find her son.

“You don’t know what’s going on at first. You just hear the loud noises. And we’re used to the kids banging on the board with their skates, so we thought it was that at first,” Melissa Dunn, whose son is a sophomore goalie on one of the teams, told reporters outside the police station after giving witness statements.

Dunn recalled screaming for her son to get down before he and other players went across the ice to the locker room.

“We ran out of the rink … Your first thought is ‘where’s my kid?'” she said. “I tried to get back in the rink, and I actually got back in there to find out where he was, and I saw them doing CPR in the stands and it was just really disturbing.”
