Cops probing transgender shooter Robert Dorgan\u2019s<\/a> heartless ice hockey arena rampage have seized a sawed-off shotgun, AR-15 style rifle and ammunition as part of searches carried out at his home and a storage unit, according to a new report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FBI agents, state police and local cops also found ID documents, an electronic device, and weapon accessories during Wednesday\u2019s searches, as reported by WCVB.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The AR-15 style gun, sawed off shotgun, a handgun frame, and weapon accessories were found inside Dorgan\u2019s Brunswick storage facility.<\/p>\n

Cops seized guns and ammunition as part of searches carried out at Rhode Island shooter\u2019s Robert Dorgan\u2019s home and storage unit Pawtucket Police Department<\/p>\n

Cops also seized mail addressed to him from the storage facility, as reported by CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the electronic device, documentation and more ammunition were found in his Bath, Maine, home.\u00a0 Law enforcement has not revealed what type of electronic device was recovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The guns and ammunition will be sent to a Rhode Island crime lab.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dorgan\u2019s work locker was also searched, but nothing of interest was found.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video following the shooting at Pawtucket\u2019s Dennis M. Lynch Arena<\/a> was studied and items inside a white van with a Maine license plate led them to Dorgan\u2019s home and storage facility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The searches were carried out two days after Dorgan, armed with a Glock 29 10mm and Sig Sauer P226, sadistically killed his ex-wife Rhonda and adult son, Aidan. That was before he took his own life.<\/p>\n

Dorgan\u2019s daughter, Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, told The Post<\/a> she feared her family could be targeted as she recalled the moment she locked eyes with the shooter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI turned around and Rob was looking into my eyes, and I really felt like we were next,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Wallace-Hubbard told WPRI<\/a> her dad was fueled by a vendetta<\/a> against the family.<\/p>\n

Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta, fired off the shots before he was stopped in his tracks by Michael Black.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just grabbed, went for the gun and I got my hand caught,\u201d Black told WCVB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Black\u2019s left hand was stuck in the weapon\u2019s chamber, which meant the shooter couldn\u2019t fire it again.<\/p>\n

Harrowing details about Dorgan\u2019s personality emerged in the aftermath of the horror.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2020, Rhonda filed for divorce and initially cited \u201cgender reassignment surgery, narcissistic and personality disorder traits\u201d on the filing, according to court docs first seen by WPRI.<\/p>\n

The reason was later amended to \u201cirreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorgan\u2019s ex co-worker, Destiny Mackenzie, claimed he had a bad temper, which could transpire into screaming matches.<\/p>\n

Rhonda\u2019s parents and family friend, Thomas Geruso, still remain in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
