Third victim of deranged trans killer Robert Dorgan pronounced dead after RI hockey game massacre

The February 16 mass killing also took the lives of Gerald's daughter, Rhonda, the shooter's ex-wife, and grandson, Aidan. Robert Dorgan, 56, specifically targeted members of his family. Also wounded were Linda Dorgan, the mother of his ex-wife, and family friend Thomas Geruso, both of whom remain hospitalized.

Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien spoke of Gerald's death in a statement, writing, "We are heartbroken to learn that another life has been lost as a result of last Monday's senseless shooting at Lynch Arena. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victim's family, friends, and all those impacted by this tragic act of violence."

Robert Dorgan, armed with a high-powered pistol, began shooting his family members in the stands at the hockey game before turning the gun on himself after being tackled by onlookers. He had transitioned genders in recent years, resulting in Robert self-identifying as a female named "Roberta" and wearing women's clothing. According to police reports, Gerald had ordered Robert to leave the house following transgender medical procedures in 2020.

The trans killer's self-identity has been the focus of several family court battles leading up to the shooting. Additionally, Robert had the same last name as his in-laws because his ex-wife, Rhonda, was also his cousin, reports revealed.

Robert joins several other killers and/or attempted killers who were determined to be transgender, all of whom carried out attacks this month alone.
