Robert Dorgan Rhode Island ‘trans’ shooter (aka Roberta Esposito) threatened to go ‘BERSERK’ day before shooting while defending Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride in which the trans father spoke about trans being triggered into committing violent acts.
The transgender dad who went on a shooting spree during an ice hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday had threatened to go ‘BERSERK’ in a trans-rights post just one day before killing two family members and injured three others before taking his own life.
Robert Dorgan, who also identified as Roberta Esposito, killed himself after opening fire at the Pawtucket ice rink where his son was playing on Monday afternoon — less than a week after another transgender gunman shot up a school in one of Canada’s deadliest mass shootings.

The night before the bloodshed, the 56-year-old dad — who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020 — made an ominous post on X in anger at someone calling trans Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride a man.
Police believe Dorgan targeting his own family on the afternoon of the shooting at the ice rink where his ex wife and their children had gathered to watch one of their sons play in a high school game. The dad according to cops had pent up resentment following years of heated court disputes over his gender identity which had triggered his former wife, Rhonda Dorgan to file for divorce in 2020.
The fatal victims of Monday’s shooting include the mother of Dorgan’s hockey player son and the student athlete’s brother, WCVB reported. Also critically wounded were three other people, including the shooter’s former mother-in-law and father-in-law, officials said.
Rhonda Dorgan filed for divorce in 2020 on the grounds of ‘gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits,’ according to the court documents.
The couple’s divorce was finalized in 2021.

The three people who were injured in Monday’s shooting included two other relatives and a family friend. They remained in a critical condition, cops said.
A woman spotted leaving the Pawtucket police station in the wake of the shooting identified herself as the gunman’s daughter, telling reporters he ‘has mental health issues‘ and was ‘very sick.’
‘He shot my family and he’s dead now,’ she said.
Dorgan was employed at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Maine.
Cops hailed a Good Samaritan who apparently jumped in to try and subdue the shooter.
Witnesses said the man — the father of another hockey player — managed to disarm Dorgan, but he had a backup firearm.
The ice rink slaughter came just days after 18-year-old transgender high school dropout, Jesse Van Rootselaar, murdered his mom own and stepbrother before gunning down six others at his former school in Canada.
