Pawtucket shooter was a transgender father.

Details have emerged regarding the Pawtucket gunman who shot and killed two people at a hockey game on Monday.

The shooter took two lives and left three people nursing serious injuries after opening fire during the high school event. He was reportedly armed with multiple weapons, one of which he eventually turned on himself.

According to NBC 10, he may have been dressed in women’s clothing at the time of the incident.

“NBC 10’s Dan Jaehnig reported, citing a law enforcement source, that the suspect was a father, who may have been dressed in women’s clothing, and that he intentionally targeted family members who were at the hockey game,” the outlet reported.

Police revealed that the shooting resulted from a family dispute.

The shooter has since been identified as transgender father Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta Esposito.

WPRI, a local station, cited court documents from a divorce claiming he had undergone a gender reassignment operation in 2020.

“We have identified the person, the suspect, by a birth name, the birth name was Robert Dorgan,” Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said on Monday. “We have also learned that the person does go by the name of Roberta, also uses a last name of Esposito.”

Dorgan had a son who was playing in the game.

Of note, he had responded to an anti-trans tweet the night before, posting an ominous warning.

“Keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK,” he wrote.

According to court documents, he and his ex-wife finalized their divorce in 2021. The latter filed the year before, giving her reasons as “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits.” 

She later changed the wording to: “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage.” 

It’s unclear whether she’s the one who was killed. But reports note that one of the fatal victims was the mother of his son. The other was said to be a sibling of that son.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
