A man wanted for murder in Cobb County shot himself with a rifle after being pulled over in downtown Zebulon this afternoon. The man, identified as 43-year-old Randall Keith Fisher, subsequently died at a Griffin hospital from the self-inflicted wound.
Fisher was the prime suspect in the March 20 murder of John Harvey Bedford III at a Cobb County home the two shared. Bedford was shot to death in the home at about 6:30 p.m. yesterday. Cobb authorities issued a lookout for Bedford's vehicle, a gold or beige 2008 Honda Civic, according to officer Nathan McCreary of the Cobb sheriff's department.
Pike sheriff Jimmy Thomas said his department received the lookout because Fisher had ties to the area. Officers spotted the vehicle near the farmer's market site off Highway 19 in downtown Zebulon at 5:24 p.m. and initiated a routine traffic stop. As they approached the vehicle, Fisher slumped over in his seat. Upon opening the vehicle, they discovered he had shot himself with a rifle.
Sheriff Thomas said the lookout on Fisher had labeled him as being armed and dangerous so abundant caution was used. "We are very thankful our people were not harmed," the sheriff said.
Fisher and Bedford lived together at 2349 Post Oak Tritt Road in Marietta. Family members who had not heard from Bedford called authorities to check on him, resulting in the discovery of his body in the home. Fisher was identified as a suspect, murder warrants were taken and the lookout on Beford's missing vehicle was issued.
It is unclear whether the weapon Fisher used to shoot himself was the murder weapon.
The investigation is ongoing.
It means alot to me. Randy was a vesy
close relative of mine. These comments
can be just so cruel, and terrible.
You do not know the entire story or you would not be so judgemental. You ARE not the JUDGE!! For there is only ONE. Lord Jesus Christ..Maybe you should sek him instead of making your devilish comments.
I've loved Randy since birth. I've prayed with him, saw him cry from the pain in his life. Saw him search for a relationship with God. He was kind always and so gentle. His pretty eyes sparkled and his voice was soft. Something else happened that day that no one will ever know for both are dead.
Can we not pray for one another? Can we not understand that this is a horrible thing that has happened and that God is the final Judge and will do right by all? Please leave this alone and quit causing more pain. All know this was wrong but those of us left behind know a different kind of boy than the small amount of information given in the newspaper. Think of it this way. What if YOUR MOTHER was the one left behind??? Everyone has a Mother who loves them no matter what they do. May God bless you all and may God help us all!
I am sure you are in pain, but please don't make excuses for Randy.
We always hear about how "good" a person is in the news after they have committed some heinous crime.
What he did was evil and selfish.
Dear Comment 12,
If you look in the top right corner of the screen, you will find an X. If you click on that, you will not be exposed to the opinion of other Americans. Americans that have the freedom of The Press and Freedom of Speech. After all, it must be God's will that we write our feelings. People blame everything else on God. If you have the power to tell the public to keep their opinions to themselves, you must be a foreign Anonymous.
but on the other hand........
Is it not the devils work when someone kills another human being? Is it also true that those who commit suicide do not go to heaven? I really can't see this the work of God. Can you?
There is to much evil in this world now and not enough chain gangs to prevent the evil from happening. Lets all go back to the days when if you did something wrong you really paid for those crimes!! Back in the day if a family member committed a crime the family was ashamed and did not look for pity from others. They also did not try to justify the crime they did. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG...............leave it at that people.
One day you will wake up, look in the mirror, and see that your an idiot. You need help. Get a life and find something better to do with your time.
May God Bless You Through Every Part Of Your Life.............
Dear Comment 16 or Dear Me: I have one of those mirrors that make objects appear smaller than they really are.....so I am still a rather small Idiot....I intend to start using the magnifying side ..then maybe I can hang with your advanced league. Let's do lunch!!!
I still love you...Not Me. I love you and Aviator. Where is my Aviator?
To Comment 15.1...Please, I beg you....don't put me on your prayer list? It is hard enough in this hypocritical world without your direct input. Oh, go ahead...The God I know will put your call, with that attitude, on hold anyway......
That is just plain ugly!! Makes me wonder why ppl call them selves Christians?? Is it just bc they go to church and worship God only on Sundays and sin Monday thru Friday?? You really need to remember......"You never know what anyone is going through until you walk a day in their shoes"....... But then again you are probably youngster mad at life and was not raised with any morals or respect for other ppl. It is a same what this world has come to and if we have to depend on ppl like 18.1 ( me ) then this world will not make it much longer.
I have put in my 40 years, so I do not have a day job. Isn't that a blessing? Now I can just entertain good people like you. You come back now, Ya hear?
You have probably seen the circus act when the man on the tightrope walks across the rope pushing a wheelbarrow. You have Faith that he will not fall, if you have Trust, you will get in the wheelbarrow. Hop aboard!!!
Love,
Sheila T.T.T.T, etc.
PEOPLE have not forgot how the whole thing started. They are just trying to let people see other views of the situation and not everyone believes the same morals in life. If people was all this "OPEN MINDED" then this world would be a better place.........
AMEN!!
THANKS AND MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TILL IT'S ALL GONE!!
( believe me I know )!!
Maybe people need to read this article and see where justice comes in play at. If Randy had not killed himself he would be living a life in person like this man........Wake up Pike County!!
Never judge anyone till you walk a life time in their shoes!!
if everything happens that can't be done

If you read Sheila's opinion it is not that she is stupid...It is called uneducated to the subject. Being uneducated is not being stupid. i am sure she is smarter then you think!! I am sure you know everything, right? HA!!
Oh and I do not believe Sheila is being ugly to the family by no means. How bout reading my comments as well. This does not deserve pity!!
Just don't lick the screen as you are writing it. ha, ha!!
I stand alone that is; unless, you want to stand beside me??
I love being an ole hen......I lay eggs.....want to eat some? ha!!
Good one Aviator!!
