Trans Shooter ‘Roberta’ Opens Fire at Rhode Island Ice Rink, Shoots Family Before Turning Gun on Self

A tragic shooting at a Rhode Island ice rink has left a family shattered after a transgender gunman—who reportedly went by the name “Roberta”—allegedly opened fire during a high school hockey game, killing his wife and wounding his children before taking his own life.

According to Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves, the suspect, identified as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan, had transitioned years earlier and was known to go by “Roberta.”

Authorities say the deadly incident unfolded at the Dennis M. Lynch Arena and stemmed from what investigators describe as a domestic violence situation that escalated into a murder-suicide.

At least one person was killed and multiple others were injured when shots rang out inside the arena, sending families scrambling for safety during the youth sporting event.

A source cited by FOX News indicated the gunman fatally shot his wife and wounded two of his children before turning the firearm on himself. He later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

WPRI reported that Dorgan had publicly changed his gender identification several years ago. In 2020, he reportedly went to the North Providence Police Department and stated that he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery. According to reports at the time, Dorgan claimed his father-in-law wanted him out of the family home following the surgery.

Court records show that around the same period Dorgan allegedly announced his gender transition, his wife filed for divorce. The filing cited “gender reassignment surgery” as well as “narcissistic + personality disorder traits.”

Investigators have not yet released additional details about what led to the shooting inside the crowded arena, but authorities indicated early findings suggest the violence was targeted and domestic in nature rather than a random act.

REPORT: Trans Wrestler Accused of Assaulting Female Wrestler Leaves Tournament

A transgender-identifying wrestler who has been accused of assaulting a female wrestler in December allegedly dropped out of a state tournament, according to a report.

“BREAKING: The biological boy accused of assaulting wrestler Kallie Keeler has just been REMOVED from the bracket for the state tournament,” Brandi Kruse wrote in a post on X. “Unclear who made the call. He was replaced by the 8th-place finisher from the qualifying tournament, an actual girl. HUGE VICTORY!”

Breitbart News reported on Friday that the Department of Education started an investigation after 16-year-old Kallie Keeler, who attends Rogers High School, located in Puyallup, Washington, claimed a biological boy allegedly “tried to push his fingers into her vagina” during a match:

Kallie Keeler, 16, a sophomore wrestler at Rogers High School in Puyallup, Washington, claims that she was assaulted during a December 6 girls wrestling match against Emerald Ridge High School when her opponent — a teen boy who identifies as a girl — tried to push his fingers into her vagina during competition.

“I was just kind of like, what? What the heck?” a shocked Keeler exclaimed. “I didn’t really know what to do or how to handle that situation. I just wanted the match to be over.”

NBC Apologizes for Calling Female Skier ‘She’

The Olympic skier at the center of a “misgendering” scandal has not publicly claimed to be offended. But one media outlet is apologizing profusely anyway.

Swedish skier Elis Lundholm competed in freestyle skiing women’s moguls on Wednesday but believes she is a man.

According to the Associated Press, Lundholm was “assigned female at birth and identifies as a man.”

However, the Swedish ski team also told the outlet the athlete does not take any hormonal treatments and has not had any surgeries.

While Lundholm finished 25th in the competition, NBC accidentally ensured her broader coverage by allegedly misgendering her. Website Outsports covered the apparent outrage, relaying the remarks from the NBC/Peacock color commentator during the event. (Read more from “NBC Apologizes for Calling Female Skier ‘She’” HERE)

Father Goes Nuclear on School Board After Teachers Sent His Son to ICE Protest

A father who posted a video of himself pulling his son out of a “walkout” protesting operations by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tore into the Highline School Board in Washington state on Wednesday.

Hundreds of students in the Seattle-area school district took part in the Feb. 2 walkout, some of whose parents backed the protest, according to the Seattle Times. Vance Glawe, who drove to the protest to pull his son, a seventh-grade student at Cascade Middle School, out of the event, confronted members of the school board with fiery remarks during his two-minute address.

“My name is Vance Glawe and on the afternoon of February 2, 2026, my 14 year old child called me. He was not at school. He was not sick. He was in the middle of White Center, Washington, in the middle of a protest that was organized for his middle school,” Glawe told the members of the board during their Wednesday meeting in video that went viral when it was posted on X by LibsofTikTok.

Glawe, who is a content creator who goes by “Modern Ragnar 1.0” on multiple social media sites, was dressed in a suit as he addressed the board, before claiming the board violated state law, and he declared his intention to sue.

“RCW 28A 600035, by allowing them to leave and under Initiative 2081, the parental Bill of Rights, I have the right to know where my child goes,” Glawe said. “That was taken from me. I was not given notice. I was not given an email. I was not given a call. You exposed him to real danger. That’s neglect and that’s endangerment.” (Read more from “Father Goes Nuclear on School Board After Teachers Sent His Son to ICE Protest” HERE)

Corey Lewandowski Fired Pilot for Leaving Kristi Noem’s Blanket on Plane as Sources Say Pair ‘Spending Nights Regularly’ Together

Corey Lewandowski fired a Coast Guard pilot for leaving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s blanket on a plane — but was forced to rehire them upon realizing there was nobody else to fly the party home, according to a stunning new report.

Lewandowski, an unpaid special government employee who unofficially acts as chief of staff for Noem — with whom he’s had a years-long affair — has overseen a reign of terror over department workers since President Trump took office last year.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Noem had to switch planes during an official trip due to a maintenance issue, but her blanket was not moved to the replacement aircraft.

Lewandowski fired the pilot and told them to find a commercial flight home when they reached their destination, only to reinstate them due to the lack of a backup.

The report did not specify when or where the incident occurred.

A spokesperson for DHS did not deny the story to the Journal, but said Noem has “made personnel decisions to deliver excellence.” (Read more from “Corey Lewandowski Fired Pilot for Leaving Kristi Noem’s Blanket on Plane as Sources Say Pair ‘Spending Nights Regularly’ Together” HERE)

Was Trump Involved With Jeffrey Epstein’s Crimes? New Poll Reveals What Americans Believe

By Liesel Nygard. A new poll shows deep public skepticism regarding President Donald Trump’s ties to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The Economist/YouGov poll, which was conducted between Feb. 6 and Feb. 9, shows that half of Americans believe that Trump is trying to cover up the disgraced financier’s crimes and a similar share believe he was personally involved in them. . .

However, the data shows significant dissatisfaction with the administration’s response, with Trump’s handling of the investigation sitting at -34, a figure that has changed little since July 2025, YouGov said.

There was a slight increase in net approval among Republicans (37 percentage points), however this has been offset by a decrease (-90 percentage points) among Democrats.

The poll also showed that 52% of Americans believe the president is actively trying to hide the truth about Epstein’s crimes, which is a steady increase from the 49% that was reported in November 2025.

DOJ files show lawyer Brad Karp and Jeffrey Epstein tracked woman over alleged extortion attempt

By Business Insider. Before Brad Karp resigned as chairman of Paul Weiss, the elite Wall Street law firm said he interacted with Jeffrey Epstein to “negotiate a series of fee disputes” on behalf of Leon Black, the billionaire former Apollo Global Management CEO.

Recently released records from the Justice Department show the two men also discussed how to handle a woman who allegedly demanded Black pay her $100 million.

The emails show Epstein and Karp trading notes about secret recordings, professional surveillance, and efforts to have the woman arrested for what Epstein described as an “extortion” attempt.

“I have come to the conclusion that we will need to bring in law enforcement sooner rather than later,” Epstein told Karp in a typo-strewn email. “Needs tobe a close sensitive relation Your call on fbi or nypd.”

Karp stepped down as the chair of Paul Weiss on Wednesday after the Epstein files revealed he advised the convicted sex offender on his legal battles with women and asked for help getting his son a role in a Woody Allen movie. He has also resigned from the board of Union College, his alma mater. (Read more from “DOJ files show lawyer Brad Karp and Jeffrey Epstein tracked woman over alleged extortion attempt” HERE)

She Was MAGA’s Antitrust Star — Then Her Relationship With Pam Bondi Imploded

Assistant Attorney General for antitrust Gail Slater announced on Thursday that she was leaving her post, bringing an end to a turbulent year in the role that saw her gradually fall out of favor with Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Slater, who gave no explanation for her departure, was lauded at the start of the administration as a tip of the spear for “MAGA antitrust” and the populist economics of Trump 2.0. Several Trump loyalists and populist MAGA allies expressed disappointment at the announcement. But sources told the Caller that it didn’t take long for her relationship with Bondi, and her deputy, Todd Blanche, to deteriorate.

One source familiar with the situation told the Caller that there were three big reasons for Slater’s ousting: an unauthorized trip to Paris, allegedly lying to Bondi about a controversial merger, and leaks to the press about divisions within the antitrust team at DOJ.

Slater was given a decision earlier this week to resign or be fired from the Department of Justice, the same source told the Caller. A different source with knowledge of the firing said President Trump makes the final call on those who are confirmed by the Senate.

That source, as well as a senior Trump administration official, said many within DOJ believed Slater was undermining pending cases because she was on rocky terms with Bondi. Slater was disobeying requests from Bondi, and went on a pricy trip to Europe despite being told not to, the administration official told the Caller.

Transgender Dropout Who Killed Family, 6 at Former School Posted About Dream of Becoming ‘Petite’ Woman

The transgender high school dropout who slaughtered his mom and stepbrother before gunning down six others at his former school in Canada had whined online about his 6-foot-tall frame making it impossible to live out his dream as a “petite” woman.

Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, aired his grievances about transitioning as well as his obsession for guns in a series of online posts in the years before unleashing hell at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School on Tuesday, the Telegraph reported.

“Do I have a good build type for HRT [hormone replacement therapy]?” Van Rootselaar wrote in a since-deleted post on a trans-community forum.

“Any advice is appreciated, should I put on weight or anything? Work out?”

In one post from March 2020, Van Rootselaar, who described himself as “MtF” — or male-to-female — wrote: “I’m pre-HRT 15yo, I’m super skinny, so that sometimes makes me feel kinda good!”

“But I’m Pre-HRT and my expectations are minimal for chest growth, and I’m 6ft tall! Why can’t I be petit an [sic] smol [small]?” (Read more from “Transgender Dropout Who Killed Family, 6 at Former School Posted About Dream of Becoming ‘Petite’ Woman” HERE)

Who Are the Six Men Named in the Unredacted Epstein Files?

By The Guardian. Ro Khanna, the US congressman, publicly revealed the names of six men whose identities were redacted from the Jeffrey Epstein files, including Leslie Wexner, a billionaire retail magnate, whom the FBI appeared to have labeled as a co-conspirator.

The Democratic representative of California disclosed the names during a floor speech on Tuesday, following a visit to the Department of Justice, where he and Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, spent two hours reviewing unredacted documents.

The six men named by Khanna are Wexner, the Victoria’s Secret founder; Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of DP World and an Emirati billionaire businessman; and four others identified as Nicola Caputo, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze and Leonic Leonov.

Khanna did not provide evidence of wrongdoing against any of them nor have they been charged with a crime in connection with Epstein.

“If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3m files,” Khanna said during his floor speech. (Read more from “Who Are the Six Men Named in the Unredacted Epstein Files?” HERE)

Epstein files: Congresswoman says she has own list of names to depose

By News Nation. In the aftermath of Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna reading the names of six previously redacted names in the Jeffrey Epstein files, Congresswoman Nancy Mace says she has her own list of people she would like to subpoena in the case.

“I took a lot of notes. I saw a lot of names,” the South Carolina Republican said during a Tuesday appearance on “Katie Pavlich Tonight.” “I wanted to look at the documents of the people who have not been arrested or investigated. A lot of that information is still redacted.” . . .

Mace stated in her findings she found names of several women who were possible co-conspirators with Epstein.

The names belong to “adult women who were recruiting young women and potentially underage individuals to give to Jeffrey Epstein,” she said. “Really disgusting behavior. These are people that I want to have brought in, tesitfy and answer some very tough questions.”

“I’m very concerned as a survivor about protecting the personal information, the names of underage children of some of these women that was put out in the public. And it’s also, it’s shaming. It’s victim shaming,” Mace said. (Read more from “Epstein files: Congresswoman says she has own list of names to depose” HERE)

Unsealed Affidavit Reveals Basis For FBI’s Fulton County Election Office Search

The affidavit supporting an FBI search of Fulton County’s election offices was unsealed on Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, a Trump appointee, ordered the unsealing of documents pertaining to the government’s seizure of ballots and other materials related to the 2020 election in January.

Some allegations of impropriety relating to the voting process in 2020 “have been disproven while some of those allegations have been substantiated, including through admissions by Fulton County,” FBI Special Agent Hugh Raymond Evans wrote in an affidavit.

“This warrant application is part of an FBI criminal investigation into whether any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws,” Evans wrote.

The investigation stems from former Trump campaign lawyer Kurt Olsen’s referral, according to the affidavit. Olsen joined the administration in October. (Read more from “Unsealed Affidavit Reveals Basis For FBI’s Fulton County Election Office Search” HERE)
