The Copley Township shooting was a shooting spree conducted by Michael E. Hance, 51, in Copley Township, Summit County, Ohio on August 7, 2011. Seven people were shot dead before the gunman was shot and killed by the police.
Description
Using two handguns, including a Hi-Point .45 ACP, which he bought from a pawn shop five days before, and a .357 Magnum six-shot revolver he bought from the same location in 2005, Hance shot his girlfriend, Rebecca K. Dieter, 49, at 11 a.m. before shooting seven more people. Dieter is the only victim who survived. Hance allegedly shot and killed Autumn Johnson, 16, and her grandparents, Russell Johnson, 67 and Gudrun Johnson, 64. Craig Dieter, 51 — Rebecca's brother — and Amelia Shambaugh, 16, were also killed. Hance then chased Bryan Johnson, 44 — the father of Autumn Johnson — northward, and shot him to death in a nearby driveway.
Hance then followed victim Craig Dieter's son, 11-year-old Scott Dieter, into a neighboring house where he was then shot and killed. As Hance was leaving the house, police surrounded him and issued some commands. He did not obey or go along with the commands, and opened fire on the officers. The police fired back and Hance was shot and killed.[1][2][3]
