Hero bystander who stopped trans dad shooter Robert Dorgan describes miracle moment that spared lives

The hero Rhode Island dad whose quick thinking helped stop a trans maniac’s shooting rampage at a high school hockey game recounted how his hand accidentally got caught in the gun’s chamber — in a miraculous moment that prevented more bloodshed.

“As soon as I saw a clear path, I got on the third-level step and he was on the one and a half, and I just jumped across and went for the gun. I wanted to grab the gun,” good Samaritan Michael Black told WJAR.

Robert Dorgan, aka Roberta Esposito, has been identified as the shooter at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island.

“And what happened was, my hand got caught in the sliding chamber and he shot, and my hand got caught, and I was holding him down with my body.”

With Black’s hand effectively jamming the weapon, Robert Dorgan, who had just murdered his son and ex-wife, and critically wounded three others, was unable to continue his killing spree.

“He was trying to press the trigger and the gun wasn’t working because my hand was in the way,” he explained.

Before long, the hulking, Nazi-tattooed killer managed to shake Black loose, sending him sprawling into the bleachers, but at that point, several other spectators rushed in and choked the gunman.

During the fracas, Dorgan fell down right next to Black, the two combatants ending up eye to eye.

“So literally I’m looking down and he’s looking up and we were staring right at each other. And at that point in time, I wanted to come down and put my knee or something to put it on his body to try to hold them down,” he told the outlet.

At that moment, Dorgan drew a second pistol, placed the barrel in his mouth and shot himself.
