On August 7, 2011, 11-year-old Scott Calvin Dieter was among seven people killed in a mass shooting in Akron, Ohio. The attacker, 51-year-old Michael E. Hance, began by assaulting his girlfriend Rebecca K. Dieter, who survived by playing dead, then went next door and killed Russell Johnson, 67, his wife Gudrun, 64, and their granddaughter Autumn Johnson, 16. Scott’s brother Craig Dieter, 51, and 16-year-old Amelia Shambaugh, who was in a car in the driveway, were also shot and killed.

Scott tried to hide in a neighbor’s basement but was found and shot by Hance. The rampage ended when Hance exited the neighbor’s home and was shot and killed by Copley Township police officer Ben Campbell. Investigators later tied the attack to a property dispute that reportedly triggered Hance’s actions.

Anyone who knew Scott or the families, or who has information about the events that day, is asked to come forward.
