It happened up in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, which is in Yankee Land. I don't think they give their murderers the chair up there. I doubt they punish them much at all. They probably give them a lifetime stipend (what's called a "Crazy Check" around here) and turn 'em back loose on the population at large.

That same kind of catch-and-release murder-go-round is scheduled to come to Virginia in the last half of this year. Exciting times coming.

Shooter looked like Sammy Hagar in drag to me. If he's gonna transition, maybe do something about that 5 o'clock shadow, and maybe at least do something about that scraggly Sammy Hagar man-hair. Might not be much he could do about the build, but shit fire, if you're going to transition, do it like you mean it! I've seen lots of drag queens who look a LOT less manly than that shooter.

Something not quite right about this story, though. Shooter's name was Robert Dorgan, alias Roberta something or other. His ex-wife's name was  Rhonda Dorgan. Ok, so far so good - maybe she just failed to change her last name after the divorce, since she was still carrying her former husband's last name. It happens... my second wife kept my last name after the divorce, too. Son Aidan Dorgan, sure - he's gonna carry his dad's last name. But where it starts getting weird is her parents listed names - Linda and Gerald Dorgan. They are listed as HER (Rhonda Dorgan's) parents, so why in the hell are they carrying her ex-husband's last name? Did Dorgan have so much power over the family that he forced the whole damned bunch to take his name when he married into it, or what?

Since we don't know what type of guns were used we must rely on the reports that a 'dozen shots' were heard fired.

Since it is rare for a revolver to have 12 bullets chambered we shall go with 'its a semi automatic pistol' with approximately 12 rounds in a magazine.

We shall assume for the sake of convenience that he two pistols of the same make and model ok.

He shot 5 people , not including himself, and killed 2 and critically wounded 3 before his 1st pistol ran out of bullets. 

That is close to 50% hit and of those hit , a 40% kill ratio. (this is close to my own estimate that follows below ok)

I estimate on the above data that another 3 people would have died and here is why ...

12 bullets with 50% hit ratio = 6 hits ... and of those 6 hits 50% kill = 3 ... therefore 3 others were most likely to die.

Personal Disclosure: Thankfully he shot and killed himself 1st and that saved at least 2 other lives minimum from being killed on average!

Well done to the hero who confronted him!

Good estimate, but it may have been even more. You've not accounted for potential spare magazines.

I never go into the world without a loaded pistol and 2 spare magazines. Each magazine holds 17 rounds (standard magazine for that pistol - I have larger magazines for it, but only use them at the range because I'm lazy and I hate reloading, but on the street they look like a donkey dick sticking out of the pistol).

So, in my case, loaded pistol = 17 rounds in the mag, 1 in the chamber, total 18 rounds. 2 spare magazines, total 34 spare magazine rounds. Total loadout = 52 rounds. We call that "loaded for bear". If I get in a mess out there, or if some jackass starts shooting up the crowd... in other words, if anyone gets hurt when I'm out there, I ain't gonna be the last one.

So, if his pistol had standard magazines, then each mag would hold between 7 (.45 ACP) and around 18 ( I think some Glocks hold 18) rounds per magazine. Most 9mm pistols hold about 15 rounds per magazine, I believe.

Mine's not a Glock (because I just hate Glocks), but it's standard mag is 17 rounds and I've never seen a smaller magazine for it.

If he had extra magazines, especially if he had spares for both pistols, it could have been a lot, LOT worse.
