Man shoots 2 drivers before killing himself
From The Times
Hate-filled documents
calling the Parkland, Fla.,
mass shooter a hero were
found at the home of the
Snellville man who fired
at least 17 shots and hit at
least seven vehicles,
wounding two drivers,
Friday afternoon in north
east Hall County.
The man, who died of a
self-inflicted gunshot
wound to the head while
fleeing authorities in his
car, was identified
Saturday as Rex Harbour,
26.
“He had the weapons,
he had the ammunition
and obviously he had the
will to inflict a lot of pain
and a lot of hate,” Hall
County Sheriff Gerald
Couch said at a press con
ference Saturday, May 5.
In the documents found
at the home where he
lived with his parents,
Harbour wrote that
“(Nikolas) Cruz gave him
courage and confidence,”
Couch said. “The remain
der of the documents that
I saw were very hate-
filled in that regard.”
Cruz killed 17 people
Feb. 14 at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High
School in Florida.
The two wounded driv
ers, a 54-year-old
Gainesville man shot in
the left hip and a 73-year-
old Demorest man shot in
the lower left leg, were
transported Friday after
noon to Northeast
Georgia Medical Center.
Both were listed in satis
factory condition Friday.
Another
driver, a
49-year-
o 1 d
woman,
sustained
a slight
scratch
from
Harbour glass
shattering
when a bullet hit her
vehicle’s windshield.
Couch did not release
the victims’ names during
the press conference.
Investigators with the
Hall County Sheriff’s
Office are working to
determine why Harbour
took position in the
woods off Ga. 365 near
Tribble Gap Road and
shot a 9 mm pistol at
northbound vehicles.
Couch said intelligence
checks done with the help
of the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation and the FBI
did not show any history
of violence or links to any
criminal activity. The
authorities also did not
find any links between
Harbour and Hall County.
“We don’t have any
information that ties him
to this area.” Couch said.
“Purely my speculation of
being an investigator and
sheriff is that possibly he
thought this was an iso
lated area that he could
come up and shoot at
people and possibly get
away with it.”
Emergency dispatchers
received a call from a
woman around 11:48 a.m.
Friday saying her hus
band had been shot while
traveling northbound on
Ga. 365. More reports of
gunshots and cars being
struck began to come in
as authorities were dis
patched to the area.
Just 11 minutes after
the initial call, while a
Hall County sheriff’s
deputy was questioning
one of the injured vic
tims, he saw a beige 2003
Buick Century pull out of
the woods and head
northbound. He drew his
weapon and headed
toward the vehicle.
Couch said Harbour
turned the Buick around
and sped away at 60 to 80
mph, leading two sher
iff’s deputies and a cou
ple of Georgia State
Patrol officers on a short,
40-second chase, before
Harbour pulled out a 9
mm pistol and shot him
self.
His vehicle continued
traveling down the road
before it came to a stop in
the median, just north of
Whitehall Road.
After searching the
vehicle, authorities found
numerous firearms and an
abundance of ammuni
tion: 9 mm handguns, a
Dawsonville man charged with child molestation
By Allie Dean

A Dawsonville man is
accused of molesting a
juvenile, according to
authorities with the
Dawson County Sheriff’s
Office.
Johnny William Rogers,
32, was arrested May 3
and charged with three
counts of child molesta
tion, aggravated child
molestation, enticing a
child for indecent purposes
and aggravated sodomy.
According to DCSO
Captain Ray Goodie, a
report made May 1 alleged
that the acts occurred
between Sept. 1, 2008, and
May 1,
2014.
Rogers
is current
ly being
held with
out bond
at the
Dawson Rogers
County
Detention Center.
.22-caliber Sears bolt-
action rifle, a 12-gauge
Springfield shotgun and a
BB gun. He also had
about 350 rounds of 9
mm ammunition, 3,000
rounds of .22-caliber
ammunition and 150
rounds of 12-gauge shot
gun ammunition.
“We’re doing checks
through the (Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives)
and at this time we don’t
believe any of the weap
ons were stolen,” Couch
said. “We’ll see if they
were registered to him or
purchased by him.”
As authorities contin
ued the investigation,
they found a hunter’s trail
camera in the woods near
where they believed
Harbour had been. After
retrieving images from
the trail camera, the pho
tos showed Harbour
walking toward the wood
line prior to opening fire.
He had two gun holsters
on his hip underneath his
shirt.
A search warrant was
obtained for Harbour’s
Snellville residence
where authorities seized
numerous electronic
devices and the letters
Harbour had written
praising the Florida
shooter. They found no
specific target or explana
tion for Friday’s shooting.
“It appeared that he
was targeting all
Americans,” Couch said.
“It didn’t specifically deal
with any race, or ethnicity
or anything of that nature.
It was just very hate-filled
and he targeted pretty
much everybody.”
Authorities spoke with
Harbour’s mother who
said he was “mild-man
nered and quiet.” His
Facebook profile shows
he graduated from
Foganville High in 2010
and attended the
University of Georgia
from 2010 to 2012. He
also worked in landscap
ing.
Couch said investiga
tors, along with the GBI
and FBI will continue
going through the find
ings in Harbour’s car and
at his residence in hopes
of finding a motive.
“I’ve been in this busi
ness 36 years and some
times we don’t always
find out the answer ‘why’
people do such things that
they do,” Couch said. “In
this business, I’ve seen,
too, that sometimes
there’s just evil, and that
may be the answer that
we find here.”
