Hachet Job

BOSTON (Reuters) – An 18-year-old man opened fire in a Massachusetts’
gay bar and attacked patrons with a hatchet, wounding three people, police
said on Thursday.

The attack at Puzzles Lounge in New Bedford, a city about 58 miles south
of Boston, took place around midnight on Wednesday and was being treated
as an apparent hate crime.

Police said the man entered the bar, ordered a drink and asked the bartender
if he was in a gay bar. When told that it was, he reached into his coat
and pulled out a hatchet and attacked the man next to him.

As patrons attempted to restrain him, he drew a gun and fired several shots,
wounding two people, police said.Two of the wounded were airlifted to a
Boston hospital.

The gunman fled. Police later identified him as Jacob Robida, an 18-year-old
described as extremely violent.
