(CBS4) TEXAS A suspect has just been identified in the overnight shooting in a Ft. Worth gay bar.
Police are looking for 18-year-old Jacob Robida of Ft. Worth. He is described as armed and dangerous.
They say Robida walked into a gay bar with a gun and a hatchet early Thursday morning and started attacking customers.
According to police, Robida went into Puzzles Lounge on North Front Street shortly before midnight and asked the bartender if it was a gay bar.
The bartender, who only identified himself as Philip, told CBS4s Karen Anderson Robida then ordered a drink and asked if there were any other gay bars in the area. Philip told him there was a lesbian bar down the street.
A short time later, Robida ordered another drink, walked to the back of the bar room near a pool table, pulled out a hatchet and allegedly started swinging.
Someone tried to stop him and a 27-year-old man was hit in the face with the hatchet.
The bartender says he and another person tried to stop Robida and the hatchet fell out of his hand. Thats when he allegedly pulled out a gun.
Philip says Robida fired one shot into the air, then shot the 27-year-old man in the face and two other people as well.
The other victims are described as a man in his late 40s who was shot twice in the face and a 23-year-old man who was shot once in the stomach.
Two of the victims were flown to Boston hospitals for treatment, while the third person was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Ft. Worth.
There is no word yet on their conditions. Police are not releasing their names.
The bartender said Robida then pointed the gun at his face and pulled the trigger. But there was only a click the gun was apparently empty.
My heart is still in my stomach from that one, Philip told Anderson.
Philip said Robida then ran out the front door.
He is described as 5-feet-8 inches tall, weighing about 220 pounds, with brownish-red hair. He had a thin goatee and was wearing a black trench coat.
He was last seen driving a green 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and is considered armed and dangerous, according to police.
Philip said the attacker was wearing all black and that he left behind the hatchet, as well as a machete that he did not see used.
