Gassville - A teenager wanted in a hatchet-and-gun attack on patrons of a Massachusetts gay bar died on Sunday morning at a Missouri hospital after he was critically wounded in a gun battle with Arkansas police, authorities said.
Jacob D Robida, 18, died at 03:38 on Sunday at Cox-South Hospital in Springfield, Arkansas state police spokesperson Bill Sadler said.
Robida was wounded after he shot and killed a small-town police officer in Gassville on Saturday and a West Virginia woman before a shootout ended with Robida's arrest, authorities said.
Robida was shot twice in the head.
