Rhode Island Shooting: Gunman Identified as Transgender Father

Two people were killed and three others critically injured in a shooting at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The gunman, Robert Dorgan, who went by the name 'Roberta', was identified as the suspect.

Dorganic reportedly shot four family members and a family friend before turning the gun on himself. A Good Samaritan managed to disarm him, though he had a backup weapon. Police arrived two minutes after receiving the call and are now working with the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office to confirm all details of the incident.

The victims included the mother of Dorganic's hockey player son and her sibling. Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien expressed his condolences, calling the city a strong but mourning community. Dorganic had a history of mental health issues and online activity reflecting anger and support for controversial causes.
