@yass.unitedstates: A deadly shooting at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket has left a family shattered, as relatives say the suspect had struggled with deep personal issues for years. According to his daughter, Robert Dorgan had long battled what she described as “demons” and displayed troubling behavior well before later life changes that drew public attention. She emphasized that family estrangement was rooted in longstanding instability and toxic behavior — not gender identity. Dorgan is accused of fatally shooting his ex-wife, Rhonda Dorgan, and their 23-year-old son, Aidan Dorgan, during a hockey event. Family members described Rhonda as the “backbone” of the family — charismatic, dependable, and deeply loved — while Aidan was remembered as an intelligent engineer with a bright future and strong ties to the local hockey community. His daughter said she had cut off contact years earlier to protect her own children, adding that without substantial mental health treatment, she believes the tragedy might never have been prevented. The loss, she said, has devastated the entire family and community.
