How many more would have died ?

To answer that question we will never know as the shooter after pulling a second pistol shot himself. 

Sometimes all it takes is one brave man to stop evil; this hero was lucky IMO as the shooter had a second hand gun.

"I just want to make sure people understand this was one person’s vendetta against their family," Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, Dorgan’s daughter, told WPRI-TV. "We were targeted. This was very specific. It wasn’t random."
Wallace-Hubbard, Robert Dorgan’s daughter from another relationship, said she was with her two young sons and the rest of the family in the stands when the shooting occurred. She described Rhonda as her stepmother and Aidan as her half-brother.
She credited an unidentified good Samaritan with saving her life and those of her sons. The individual is seen tackling Robert Dorgan in footage from the shooting, per WPRI-TV.

Explanation: Caution ... maths ahead!

Since we don't know what type of guns were used we must rely on the reports that a 'dozen shots' were heard fired.

Since it is rare for a revolver to have 12 bullets chambered we shall go with 'its a semi automatic pistol' with approximately 12 rounds in a magazine.

We shall assume for the sake of convenience that he two pistols of the same make and model ok.

He shot 5 people , not including himself, and killed 2 and critically wounded 3 before his 1st pistol ran out of bullets. 

That is close to 50% hit and of those hit , a 40% kill ratio. (this is close to my own estimate that follows below ok)

I estimate on the above data that another 3 people would have died and here is why ...

12 bullets with 50% hit ratio = 6 hits ... and of those 6 hits 50% kill = 3 ... therefore 3 others were most likely to die.

Personal Disclosure: Thankfully he shot and killed himself 1st and that saved at least 2 other lives minimum from being killed on average!

Well done to the hero who confronted him!
