Last night in New Bedford, a man walked into a gay bar and began attacking patrons with a gun and a hatchet. One person suffered a gunshot wound to the chest, another had a gunshot wound to the back and severe
cuts to his face, and a third received multiple cuts. The attacker, identified by police as 18 year old Jacob Robida (see photo), then fled the scene.
The directors of KnowThyNeighbor.org wish to extend our most sincere sympathies to the victims of this terrible crime as well as to their spouses, families, and friends.
He is still at large so please take note of this description below and the photo on the right:
Police described him as 5-foot-6, weighing about 200 pounds, with dark hair. He was last seen driving a green 1999 Pontiac Grand Am with Massachusetts plates 85E-C58.
