The crazed gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon has been identified as a transgender dad who railed against anti-trans hate in family legal disputes and deranged social media rants.
Robert Dorgan, 56 — who shot four family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink — used the female alias Roberta Esposito, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said during a press conference Monday night.
“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Goncalves said. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”
The night before the suspect stormed the hockey tournament with a gun, he ominously replied, “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK” in response to an anti-trans X post.

Demons from hell
