Cops probing transgender shooter Robert Dorgan’s 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. 

FBI agents, state police and local cops also found ID documents, an electronic device, and weapon accessories during Wednesday’s searches, as reported by WCVB. 

The AR-15 style gun, sawed off shotgun, a handgun frame, and weapon accessories were found inside Dorgan’s Brunswick storage facility.

Cops also seized mail addressed to him from the storage facility, as reported by CBS News.

Meanwhile, the electronic device, documentation and more ammunition were found in his Bath, Maine, home.  Law enforcement has not revealed what type of electronic device was recovered. 

The guns and ammunition will be sent to a Rhode Island crime lab. 

Dorgan’s work locker was also searched, but nothing of interest was found.

Surveillance video following the shooting at Pawtucket’s Dennis M. Lynch Arena was studied and items inside a white van with a Maine license plate led them to Dorgan’s home and storage facility.

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.

Dorgan’s daughter, Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, told The Post she feared her family could be targeted as she recalled the moment she locked eyes with the shooter.

“I turned around and Rob was looking into my eyes, and I really felt like we were next,” she said.

Wallace-Hubbard told WPRI her dad was fueled by a vendetta against the family.

Dorgan, who also went by the name Roberta, fired off the shots before he was stopped in his tracks by Michael Black.

“I just grabbed, went for the gun and I got my hand caught,” Black told WCVB.

But Black’s left hand was stuck in the weapon’s chamber, which meant the shooter couldn’t fire it again.

Harrowing details about Dorgan’s personality emerged in the aftermath of the horror. 

In 2020, Rhonda filed for divorce and initially cited “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic and personality disorder traits” on the filing, according to court docs first seen by WPRI.

The reason was later amended to “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage.”

Dorgan’s ex co-worker, Destiny Mackenzie, claimed he had a bad temper, which could transpire into screaming matches.

Rhonda’s parents and family friend, Thomas Geruso, still remain in a critical condition.
