A single reply on X carried the weight of what was coming. On Sunday night, February 15, 2026, actor Kevin Sorbo posted a straightforward observation about Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride. Within hours, a user identifying as Roberta Dorgano fired back: “keep bashing us. but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.”
The next afternoon, that warning turned into reality inside Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Robert Dorgan, 56, the man behind the account, walked into a high school hockey game where his son was playing and opened fire on his own family. He killed two people — the boy’s mother and the teenager’s sibling — and critically wounded three others, including additional relatives and a family friend. Dorgan then turned the gun on himself.
Surveillance video captured the horror in raw detail: players diving for cover, parents and spectators scrambling from the stands. A father of another player became a hero in the moment, rushing the shooter and briefly disarming him before Dorgan produced a second firearm. The attack ended only when Dorgan chose to end his own life.
Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves described it as a targeted family dispute. No random rampage. No stranger violence. This was a man settling scores with the people closest to him, in the one place his son should have been safe.
Dorgan had lived with gender delusions for years. He underwent gender-reassignment surgery in 2020 and began presenting as Roberta Esposito. Court records from his divorce paint a clear picture of the fracture. His then-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, initially listed the surgery itself and “narcissistic + personality disorder traits” as grounds for the split. The final filing softened the language to “irreconcilable differences,” but the damage was done. The marriage ended in June 2021.
Family conflicts spilled into police reports long before the divorce. Dorgan accused his father-in-law of threatening to have him “murdered by an Asian street gang” if he did not leave the North Providence home — all because the family refused to accept a “tranny” living there, according to the complaint. He also claimed his mother assaulted him. Both sets of charges were later dismissed.
A woman who identified herself as Dorgan’s daughter spoke outside the police station after the shooting. “He has mental health issues,” she said. “He’s very sick. He shot my family and he’s dead now.”
The Sunday post to Sorbo was not an isolated outburst. The same account had engaged in similar exchanges, including telling Alex Jones to “stfu” and stop being “butt hurtt over somebody different.” Dorgan’s online activity revealed a man who framed any criticism of transgender ideology as justification for rage.
This tragedy lands less than a week after another mass shooting carried out by a transgender-identified individual. In Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar — born male and pretending to be female — killed eight people, including family members and students at his former high school, before taking his own life. Authorities there had visited him multiple times for mental health concerns.
Two cases. Two shooters who identified as the opposite sex. Two families shattered in public spaces. The pattern does not require conspiracy to see; it requires honesty to acknowledge. This has been a trend for a while that very few are discussing.
Dorgan’s son survived the afternoon physically unharmed, but the images of his father’s final act at senior night will never leave him. The arena that should have held cheers and trophies now holds bloodstains and unanswered questions.
Rhode Island authorities continue to investigate, reviewing every digital footprint and court document. The warning Dorgan posted for the world to see sits there still — a public declaration that violence was not only possible but, in his mind, inevitable if “we” felt bashed.
The families buried today did not bash anyone. They simply existed in the orbit of a man who chose rage over reconciliation, ideology over healing, and a hockey rink over restraint. The post on Sunday did not cause Monday’s massacre, but it announced it. And the country watched it unfold exactly as written.
