Robert Earl Bardwell was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. Weatherford Police report officers were dispatched to the 500 block of South Rusk Street at approximately 1:13 a.m. in regards to the shooting. The initial investigation showed Bardwell went into the house without consent of the resident and assaulted his 34-year-old son.
