Guns Seized From Pawtucket, Rhode Island Shooting Suspect's Apartment, Storage Unit
- On Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, police responded to a deadly shooting at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket where Robert Dorgan, 56, killed his ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan and adult son Aidan before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot.
- Police say the shooting appears to have been a targeted event and a family dispute, with court documents showing the suspect's transgender identity caused friction in recent years.
- Investigators in Maine seized weapons including a sawed-off shotgun, an AR-15–style rifle, a handgun frame, ammunition, and electronic devices from a Bath apartment and Brunswick storage unit on Wednesday.
- Police say three survivors remain hospitalized in critical condition after shots left Linda and Gerald Dorgan, Rhonda's parents, and Thomas Geruso, family friend and assistant principal, wounded; Rhode Island interscholastic games are suspended until Friday and flags fly at half staff as the Pawtucket community mourns.
- Authorities in multiple states are coordinating the probe, with Maine State Police assisting after identifying a white vehicle with Maine license plates and a Florida firearms carry permit linked to the suspect, who worked at Bath Iron Works.
