Bobby Fair

Suicide

Bobby Fair, in custody for two counts of armed robbery, allegedly attacked a police officer on his way into a courtroom and stole her car and gun belt. Police said Fair acquired a second other, and several agencies set up a perimeter and waited for him to come through on surrounding roadways. After Fair ran one roadblock on the Natchez Trace Parkway near French Camp, police said he pulled over at the next one and exchanged gunfire with officers (possibly as many as 100 rounds fired by police?). The coroner said Fair died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
