Robert W. Bloodworth

How they died

Deadly force

Robert Bloodworth reportedly shot and killed himself at his home after police had questioned him about a traffic incident. Police said they stopped Bloodworth after he rear-ended a woman's car on Highway 30. Officers said he seemed nervous, and took off on foot when they asked him about his registration. Investigators said a stolen Mercedes was seen leaving a nearby subdivision soon after the incident, and the same car was found at Bloodworth's home on Crepemyrtle Drive. Police said when they approached the home they heard shots, and found Bloodworth dead inside. Neighbors said they were shocked to see all the police in their area, and even more shocked to find out what happened. "There were 30 police cars in the driveway, this is a really quiet quaint neighborhood there's only one way in and one way out so you don't have any traffic so if you see anything like that it's obviously something going on," said neighbor Eric Woolbright. "They're good people, I thought. I mean, did he just have an accident and panic? I really don't know."
