Robert S. McFadin

How they died

Suicide

Robert S. McFadin reportedly wrestled away officer Thomas Quartucci's gun, beat the officer with it and then shot himself inside a police station. At about noon, McFadin had turned himself in for a domestic dispute at a fast-food restaurant earlier that day. After a short interview, Quartucci placed McFadin under arrest. McFadin allegedly wrestled Quartucci's handgun from his holster and beat him repeatedly in the head. Quartucci escaped to a library next door while McFadin remained inside. A short time later, officers from surrounding counties entered the building and found McFadin dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
