Tawnia McGeehan -- the mom who allegedly killed her young daughter Addi Smith and then herself in a Las Vegas hotel room over the weekend -- had a custody battle for her daughter, which lasted 9 years ... according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

The papers show multiple instances where Tawnia was accused of custodial interference, but the charges were later dismissed.

8:10PM PT -- The suspect in the Pawtucket ice rink shooting has been identified as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan -- who also went by the name Roberta Esposito -- Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves announced during a press conference Monday night.

Authorities have not released the names of the victims, but stated that the shooting was “targeted” and seemed to stem from a family-related dispute.

Video has surfaced of the fatal shooting during a hockey game at an ice rink in Rhode Island on Monday, showing the crowd and players rushing for cover after a gunman opened fire, in a terrifying display of violence.

The tragedy occurred around 2 PM at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, RI -- five miles northeast of Providence -- when a man began shooting during the Coventry and Blackstone Valley Schools' game.

CCTV captured the horrifying moment as shots began to ring out ... showing fans in the stands taking cover while players dove for safety in the box.

Players and referees rushed off the ice as fast as they could.

Lindsey Vonn’s resilience is being tested again -- and her family says the comeback road is anything but easy.

Vonn’s sister, Karin Kildow, tells TMZ Sports the days since Lindsey’s scary Olympic crash have been overwhelming as the American skier underwent a series of surgeries and hospital treatment for the injuries she suffered in the fall.

“It’s been a rough one, been in the hospital a lot,” Kildow told us at LAX on Saturday.

Of course, Vonn went down hard during the downhill event at the Winter Games … catching an edge at high speed and crashing into the safety netting. The wipeout forced her to be airlifted off the mountain -- ending her dreams of medaling.

Vonn -- who was competing with a torn ACL -- was discharged from the hospital on Sunday, but her plans to fly home to the U.S. remain unknown.

Physically, it’s been a grind.

Dozens of pics later, and with significantly less candy on board, Shaq was out with this parting message ... "It looks like I'm still the king of L.A.!"
