NORFORK, Ark. - The suspect in a hatchet-and-gun attack in a Massachusetts gay bar was in custody following a shootout that left an Arkansas police officer and a woman dead on Saturday, police said.

A police officer from the northern Arkansas town of Gassville was shot as he attempted to apprehend Jacob D. Robida, according to state police spokesman Bill Sadler.

The teen sped away and exchanged gunfire with police in nearby Norfolk, where the 18-year-old was wounded and a female passenger was killed, Sadler said.

Robida was wanted in the attack Thursday at Puzzles Lounge in New Bedford, Mass., that left three men wounded, one critically. Police labeled the attack a hate crime and said Robida would be charged with attempted murder, assault and civil rights violations.

Friends defend suspect
Robida sometimes glorified Nazism and had a swastika tattoo but never previously expressed any prejudice toward gays, friends said.

Heather Volton, 22, of Fall River, said she has been friends with Robida for more than a year. She said he had a swastika on his hand, but “the kid never so much as raised his voice at me.”

Another friend, Jennifer Crosby, 24, also of Fall River, identified herself as “part black and a lesbian” and said Robida never expressed any hostility toward gays.

Police officers went to Robida’s home Thursday and spoke to his mother. According to court papers, she said Robida came home around 1 a.m., bleeding from the head, then left. In his bedroom, officers found Nazi regalia and anti-Semitic writings on the wall.

A man who answered the door at Robida’s mother’s house Friday morning ordered reporters off the property.

At least one of the wounded men remained hospitalized Friday. A second was released, and hospital officials would not disclose the whereabouts of the third victim.

Police said they were examining material Robida posted on his Internet home page. The site is full of references to a rap group called Insane Clown Posse, which is known for its explicit lyrics and sinister clown makeup. The band’s label, Psychopathic Records, has a logo depicting the silhouette of a man wielding a hatchet.

Rep. Barney Frank, an openly gay congressman whose district includes New Bedford, said the community has a history of tolerance. Frank pointed out that the city re-elected Gerry Studds in the 1980s after he became the first member of Congress to publicly announce he was gay.

“This is not some general problem with the people of New Bedford,” Frank said. “This is one disturbed 18-year-old.”
