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 stopped 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.
“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, ex-wife, and critically wounded three others, was unable to continue his killing spree.

Before long, the hulking, Nazi-tattooed killer managed to shake Black loose, sending him sprawling into the bleachers, at this 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 before placing the barrel in his mouth and shooting himself.
