[kweerwolf]

NORFORK, Ark. - A teenager suspected of a hatchet and gun attack in a Massachusetts gay bar was captured here Saturday after a rural police officer was gunned down and a female passenger of the teen killed in a shootout with police several minutes later, state police said.

Jacob D. Robida was wounded in the shootout and taken to a Springfield, Mo., hospital, according to state police spokesman Bill Sadler.

After police Officer Jim Sell, 56, was shot to death in the northern Arkansas town of Gassville, a witness told police a green Pontiac with Kentucky license plates left the scene, Sadler said.

About 15 miles from Gassville, gunfire was exchanged with police in Norfork, where the 18-year-old was wounded and a female passenger was killed, Sadler said. He did not know the name of the passenger or her relationship with Robida.

1. Whoa - one disturbed 18-year-old is right, Congressman!

What a tragedy all the way around. Three victims of a hatchet attack, and an officer killed, as well as a young female in the car with him. And now, it looks like the perpetrator will die. I'm so sad for the families and friends of all who died. Sending healing energy to the survivors and the victims of the attack!

I saw SO many of these angry, angry teens when I was a social worker; their parents were generally poor and struggling, they had no idea how to deal with a psychotic teenager, and the government provides exceedingly few resources to prevent a situation like this. So tragic!
