This photo released by the New Bedford Police Department shows Jacob D. Robida, 18, of New Bedford.
Robida, wanted inlast week's hatchet-and-gun attack in a New Bedford gay bar, shot and killed a woman riding
in his car and an Arkansas police officer before he was shot twice in the head in a gun battle with police.

Police investigated the scene in Norfolk, Ark. Robida wrecked his car after a nearly 30-mile chase
and was wounded in a shootout with Arkansas State Police and Baxter County deputies.

The small resort and retirement towns of Baxter County, Ark., were shocked by the crime.

Authorities worked the scene around the patrol car of Gassville, Ark., police officer John Sell,
after Robida shot and killed the small-town officer at a traffic stop. Gassville is a working-class
community of 1,700 people with one main road that passes through town.

New Bedford Mayor Scott W. Lang spoke at a press conference at police
headquarters, detailing the capture of Robida.

Attack victim Robert Perry, outside Puzzles Lounge, reacted to the news of Robida's capture.

Friends of Jacob Robida, Kimberly Silva (left) and Keith Amarantes, said that Robida sometimes glorified
Nazism and had a swastika tattoo but never previously expressed any prejudice toward gays.

"to stay involved," according to fellow officers. He was checking traffic speeds when he pulled over Robida.
