Gay bashing suspect captured in Arkansas

From WCVB in Boston:

A teenager accused of going on a rampage at a Massachusetts gay bar with a hatchet and a gun was captured Saturday in northern Arkansas after shootout with police.

State troopers said a local police officer and a woman accompanying the teenager were shot dead.

The suspect -- 18-year-old Jacob Robida -- was taken to a hospital in Springfield, Mo., after an exchange of gunfire with police in Norfork. Moments earlier, Robida allegedly shot Gassville police officer Jim Sell a few miles away from Norfork.

Unfortunately, at least one person is dead. (They are still not releasing information on one of the men wounded in the bar attack, and as far as I know, there's still at least one person in critical condition from that attack.)

"My ancestors are probably longer in this country than many Europeans who don't call themselves European-Americans. Why would I want to identify with Africa?" he said.
