An autopsy has found that the teenager involved in a hate-filled rampage at a New Bedford gay bar last week fired the fatal shots into his own head during Saturday's gun battle with Arkansas police.

At a late afternoon news conference New Bedford District Attorney Paul Walsh Jr. said that ballistics test showed that the fatal shot was fired by Jacob Robida's own gun.

Walsh also said that it has been determined that Robida was also responsible for fatally shooting Jennifer Rena Bailey, 33, who he picked up in West Virginia in his flight from Massachusetts.

Police originally believed that the shots that killed Robida had been fired by Arkansas police during a final gun battle on Saturday in the town of Norfolk. They also were unsure if the shot that killed Bailey came from Robida's gun or if she had been felled by a police bullet.

4. I read one report that she was a former girlfriend.

As I recall, he lived with her during part of 2004 and 2005 and then he moved back to Mass. to live.

6. She was an only child.

That's heartbreaking.

At least they have her children - that would mean a whole lot to me if I were in their position.

God bless her survivors!

God bless the survivors of that police officer!

May the victims of his attack heal quickly!

Healing energy to all affected by this tragedy!
