A twisted trans father shot his wife, three kids and a family friend in the stands at a high school hockey tournament in Rhode Island on Monday — sending the panicked crowd screaming and fleeing for the exits.

Two people were killed and three others are in critical condition at a hospital after the gunfire erupted at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket around 2:30 p.m., according to cops, who described the incident as a targeted family dispute.

The shooter, identified as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan — who also went by Roberta Esposito — died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
...
He shot his son’s mother, their three children and a family friend who were all spectators at the game, according to reports.

The mother died at the scene, and one of the children died at the hospital, the local outlet reported.

A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket Police Department following the deadly rampage told reporters, “My father was the shooter” and claimed that he was plagued by “mental health issues.”

The dude was quite a disgusting nutter, not just for his sexual whatever-you-call it. Apparently he hated blacks, so much so that he taught the same hatred to at least one of his older sons ... who is in prison in Texas for arson against a majority-black church.

He had 5 children by 3 women, 3 by the wife he murdered ... one of whom he also murdered. The wife he murdered was also his first cousin once removed. I don't understand genealogists-speak, but IIRCC, the woman he married and murdered was the daughter of his uncle. IOW, he fulfilled the stereotype of Appalachian area families, but in Rhode Island.

Just a real upstanding guy ... ummmmm, gal ... OK, he was a nutter. I hope his other kids are and grow up to be normal decent people who marry someones whose ancestries are geographically far from their father's.
