The huge firearm attack that shattered an ice hockey tournament in Rhode Island had taken the country by storm, but now more shocking details are being revealed about the trans shooter involved.
The mystery and investigation took a darker turn after records revealed how the attacker was related by blood to the former wife she murdered.

This is right before she turned the weapon on herself. Three more people were left in a critically injured state, which included Rhonda's parents.
{img}A deep dive into the public records revealed how Esposito and Rhonda were first cousins. The revelation arose after the Providence Journal shed light on why the shooter shared the same last name as her former wife's parents. At first, many investigators assumed it was coincidental, but that was far from the case. The outlet then traced the Dorgan lineage back to Edward Dorgan and his partner Eva, who lived in Smithfield, Rhode Island, with their two sons, Raymond Dorgan and Robert J. Dorgan.
