Calcagno was shot in the head Friday, as were two women also in the residence, in what Central Falls Police Chief Joseph Moran III said were among the worst shootings he has seen in 23 years of police work. Calcagno was pronounced brain dead at 10:16 p.m. Saturday, according to Bruno. “For reasons we can’t discuss, he is receiving organ support at this time,” she said. The police said that if and when Calcagno's life support is turned off, the charges against Duarte would be upgraded. The other two victims were in critical condition this morning, hospital spokeswoman Andrea Barbosa said. They are Kristal L. Duarte, 23, and her mother, Elizabeth Orellana, 37, who both live at 712 High St., where the shootings took place. The police early Friday morning apprehended the alleged shooter, Adelino Duarte, 38 (no relation to Kristal Duarte). He was lying face down in a bedroom, with his hand extended under a mattress, where the police found a .25-caliber handgun. On Friday, Adelino Duarte was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon inside a dwelling house, one count of domestic assault with a dangerous weapon inside a dwelling house, three counts of assault with the intent to commit murder, discharge of a firearm while committing a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license, and firing a pistol in a compact area. Until about a month ago, Adelino Duarte and Orellana were dating, Moran said Friday. Posted by Kate Bramson CommentsPost a commentPlease be civil.
