Authorities have not confirmed a motive…
Police have identified the gunman in Tuesday evening’s fatal shooting at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, as 56-year-old Robert K. Dorgan, who also used the name Roberta Esposito.
Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on family members during a high school hockey game. Two people were killed and three others were injured before Dorgan died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officials said the father of another player attempted to intervene, but the suspect was armed with multiple firearms.
Investigators have indicated that the shooting appears to have stemmed from a long-running family dispute rather than a random act of violence.
Court records reviewed by media outlets reveal a history of legal conflicts involving relatives, including divorce proceedings and other family-related disputes. Multiple filings reference tensions related to Dorgan’s gender identity within broader family disagreements.
As Fox News reports:
In 2020, Dorgan reported to North Providence police that he had undergone gender-reassignment surgery and said his father-in-law wanted him out of the family home because of it. Police identified the suspect by the birth name Robert Dorgan and said he also went by “Roberta.”
According to court documents cited by WPRI, Dorgan alleged his father-in-law used a derogatory term for transgender individuals and threatened retaliation if he did not move out. The father-in-law was charged at the time, though prosecutors later dismissed the case.
Court filings also show Dorgan’s then-wife initially cited “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits” in divorce paperwork before the grounds were amended to “irreconcilable differences.” The divorce was finalized in 2021. Divorce records list Dorgan as living in Jacksonville, Florida, at the time and working as a truck driver.
Also in 2020, Dorgan accused his mother of assaulting him and acting in a “violent, threatening or tumultuous manner,” according to police records cited by WPRI. His mother was charged with simple assault and battery and disorderly conduct, though the case was later dismissed, court records show.
Authorities say Dorgan opened fire on five family members attending the game. Dorgan’s ex-wife and one son were later pronounced dead. All victims are believed to be related to the suspect.
Law enforcement officials have said there is no indication that unrelated spectators were intentionally targeted.
The investigation remains ongoing.

Thing is, there is NO Gender Identity issue anywhere at all. There are two issues. If you are a man in a dress or a woman dressed as a man, sometimes with surgery that you would not do on a dog, You Are Mentally ill! This will never be dealt with by playing the Mental Illness game with these people. They need treatment for this Mental Illness, not parades and flags. Democrats are doing everything they can to disrupt and take down this Country. This is deliberate. Please do a little research on the American Communist Party. Don’t blow me off. They published these Planks of the Communist Party in the 1960’s and as of today have accomplished everything they wanted to do so as to destabilize the Country. https://www.reddit.com/r/CapitalismVSocialism/comments/ioamlf/the_ten_planks_of_the_communist_manifesto/
We have been set up to fall and now with the Invasion of 50 Million Illegal Alien Invaders, 45 Million which are still here and the Democrats Fighting Us every day for enforcing the laws they made in Congress, we are in very bad trouble. I submit as bad as the democrats are now, Islam is a much bigger problem. This video will explain that: https://youtu.be/Jc4wW7RU7gs?si=6UIMhrcr_k5xUHAG
Wake Up or Perish. We are being destroyed from within. Most of the “News” you view is a distraction to keep you from realizing the truth. Americans are being replaced in order to steal elections. If you don’t see that, your not paying attention and if your not paying attention you are dooming your children and grandchildren to a never ending Civil War.
