this individual was confused about nearly every aspect of his life JMO. His SM reflects it.

I'm confused. The murderer and his wife's family all shared the same last name. 🤔

"The three victims who were injured in the shooting were identified as Linda and Gerald Dorgan, who were the parents of Rhonda Dorgan. Both Linda and Gerald are currently hospitalized in critical condition."

Maybe he took his wife's surname.

Maybe cousins…

Also in February 2020, a Providence police report said Dorgan's mother, Joann Dorgan, showed up to a high school hockey game when Dorgan was their with two kids.

Joann Dorgan allegedly punched Dorgan in the face and said, "I want you to hit me so I can have you arrested."

Dorgan reported the incident to police and they filed an assault charge against the 70-year-old woman.

A couple of weeks later, Dorgan's father-in-law, Gerald Dorgan, was accused of telling Dorgan to drop those charges or "he would hire an Asian gang to kill him."

A family member of Robert Dorgan, the suspected shooter at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, told NBC 10 News on Tuesday that he had six children and that it wasn’t surprising or alarming for him to show up at his son's hockey games.

Dorgan’s daughter, Amanda, told NBC 10's Molly Levine that her father struggled with mental health his entire adulthood, adding: "I think his gender-identity issues are a symptom of a deeper issue."

"He was ostracized from the family because he had a long history of violence and abuse," she said. "Anyone who knows him is probably not incredibly surprised, unfortunately, but when somebody doesn't want to get help, they won't."

I had a neighbor once who did that. He had no family by the time he married and he was very close to his wife's family so he took their name.

This is just... over the top. How is any of this real? 🥴

The shooter, Robert Dorgan, who also went by Roberta Esposito, was Rhonda Dorgan's ex-husband and Aidan Dorgan's father. Dorgan died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the arena.

The three others who were critically injured were Rhonda's parents, Linda and Gerald Dorgan, as well as a family friend Thomas Geruso.

Police confirmed that the two firearms used by Dorgan were purchased legally, and that Dorgan had a license to carry permit out of Florida

Both the Pawtucket ice rink shooter, Robert Dorgan (who also went by Roberta), and one of their victims, Rhonda Dorgan, had the same last name before they were married in 1992, court records show. This is because they are first cousins, once removed.

The 1950 U.S. Census for the state of Rhode Island lays out the family dynamic.

It lists the family of Edward F. Dorgan, 57, and his wife, Eva C. Dorgan, 47, living on Farnum Pike in Smithfield. Among others living with them were two sons: Raymond C. Dorgan, 22, and Robert J. Dorgan, 7, at the time of the Census.

The Robert J. Dorgan in the 1950 census was the father of shooter Robert Kevin Dorgan, also called Roberta.

Meanwhile, Raymond C. Dorgan, fathered Gerald L. Dorgan, who, with his wife, Linda Dorgan, are in critical condition after the shooting. Their daughter was Rhonda Lee Dorgan, who married and then divorced the shooter.

That means Edward F. Dorgan is the shooter's grandfather and Rhonda Lee’s great-grandfather. Looked at it another way, Rhonda’s grandfather is the shooter's uncle.

Thank you for clearing that up.
I think. 🤔
Probably.
