The crazed transgender dad who shot up a high school hockey game in Rhode Island threatened to go oBERSERKo in a trans-rights rant just a day before
he massacred two family members and injured three others.
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 u less than a week after another transgender gunman shot
up a school in one of CanadaAs deadliest mass shootings.
The night before the bloodshed, the 56-year-old dad u who underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020 u made an ominous post on X in anger at
someone calling trans Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride a man.
oKeep bashing us. But do not wonder why we Go BERSERK,o Dorgan wrote in
the chilling post.
Police believe Dorgan, too, was targeting his own family when he wreaked
havoc at the ice rink following years of heated court disputes over his identity.
The fatal victims of MondayAs shooting include the mother of DorganAs
hockey player son and the student athleteAs sibling, multiple sources told WPRI.
It wasnAt immediately clear if the mom gunned down was DorganAs ex-wife.

court filing obtained by the local outlet.
Their split was finalized in 2021.
The three people who were injured in MondayAs 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 gunmanAs daughter, telling reporters he ohas mental health issueso and was overy sick.o
oHe shot my family, and heAs dead now,o she said.
Police havenAt released any details about the victims and said they are
still probing an exact motive.
oIt appears that this was a targeted event, that it may be a family
dispute,o Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said.
Detectives were reviewing chilling surveillance from inside the area that showed players diving for cover and fans fleeing their seats after the
gunfire broke out u as they piece together what happened.
The police chief hailed a Good Samaritan who apparently jumped in to try
to subdue the shooter.
Witnesses said the man u the father of another hockey player u 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.
