The Rhode Island Interscholastic League has been suspended following the murder of two people by transgender shooter Robert Dorgan at a game on Monday.
Aidan Dorgan, 23, was killed alongside his mother Rhonda, 52, at the Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, a few miles outside Providence.
They were killed by Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta Esposito. Dorgan, 56, concluded the rampage by killing himself.
Aidan’s grandparents were among those injured in the attack. They are currently in critical condition, fighting for their lives, a GoFundMe page established by Rhonda’s stepdaughter Amanda Wallace-Hubbard revealed.
Rhonda’s youngest son Colin Dorgan, 17, watched the tragedy unfold from the ice, video of the shooting showed.
Michael Lunney, executive director of The Rhode Island Interscholastic League said in a statement Tuesday that games are being postponed out of respect for those affected by the ‘senseless act of violence.’
Robert Dorgan, who also went by the name ‘Roberta Esposito’, killed his ex-wife and son and injured three others before turning the gun on himself on Monday afternoon
