Russell Johnson, 67, of Akron, Ohio, was killed on August 7, 2011, during a mass shooting in Copley Township. The attack left seven people dead, including Russell’s wife Gudrun Johnson, their son Bryan Johnson, and Bryan’s daughter Autumn Johnson. Reportedly the rampage was triggered by a property dispute involving the shooter, 51-year-old Michael Hance.

Hance began by shooting his girlfriend, Rebecca Dieter, then attacked the Johnson family and other neighbors. He used two handguns, a Hi-Point .45 ACP and a .357 Magnum revolver reportedly purchased from a pawn shop. Officers who confronted Hance were shot at; police returned fire and killed him.

The community mourned the victims and remembered the Johnson family. Few details remain about what specifically escalated the property dispute into violence. Does anyone have information about the dispute or the victims that could help clarify what happened that day?
