Police identified the gunman who killed two people and critically injured three others at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday afternoon as Robert Dorgan and revealed he went by a female name.
The 56-year-old father, who shot family members and a family friend before he turned the gun on himself following the deadly rampage at the Pawtucket ice rink, used the 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.”
Dorgan is the father of a North Providence High School senior who was competing in the hockey tournament, local station WPRI reported.
The suspected shooter sat near the back of the stands on the home team’s side during the game before he moved to the front and opened fire at four family members and one family friend, the outlet reported.
The student’s mother and sibling were among the dead, multiple sources told the outlet. The mother of Dorgan’s child died inside Lynch Arena, while the sibling died at the hospital, according to the sources.
Three victims are still in critical condition as of Monday night. **/

Is the Post misgendering the killer? Now, he’s a dude? Any other time they would label this guy as a she.
Nothing surprises me anymore. Where are these freaks hatched?
They do that on purpose. The more you have to think about it the less you can think about everything else. One day a man is a man dressed as a woman, while on the same day a different man is actually a woman who was once a man. Gender assigned at birth rather than gender assigned at conception. Gender assigned at conception is impossible for a clump of cells. It’s all a distraction.
Why on earth did we close down all the mental institutions! I think it’s time to build new ones on a massive scale. We will need at lease 500 huge ones in every blue state and one small one in red states for visiting blue staters.
Now that is creepy.
Screwed up. When are we going to start calling people insane again?
Gender dysphoria is insane. Frankly homosexuality is insane. But we’re not allowed to speak of insanity, much less these specific issues, are we?
Sammy Hagar?
He looks like Sammy Hagar. He can’t drive 55.
GMTA.
But, it doesn’t really matter, when we declare nothing is insane. Except maybe thinking conservatively.
Dang. 12 seconds.
Ma’am I Am
(Hat tip to Dr. Seuss)
I see your hair. It is a wig.
Your Adam’s apple still looks big.
You are a man, and that is clear.
I do not see a woman here.
I must admit, it’s rather odd
To hear you say you’re now a broad.
You have no uterus, so no:
You cannot bleed from down below.
I do not like your padded bra!
You should not use the women’s spa!
You tell me you had surgery;
Your pronouns still are “him” and “he.”
Your chromosomes are X and Y.
That means you’ll always be a guy.
You gave yourself a girly name.
That does not mean you’re now a dame.
A surgeon chopped your eggs and ham?
I still won’t call you Ma’am I Am.
Daughter accurately told the press “HE had mental health issues”.
It looks like Dr. Seuss needed to get his mind right. From Wiki.
ROFLMAO!
Superb.
Bravo!👏👏👏

Esposito? Little Husband?
That is queer.
HA!
Good work!
Didn't work because when you own something you can sell it.
But they did try.
Even got Amazon and eBay to go along with it for a bit.
