Sheriff Gerald Couch told Channel 2 Action News a hunter’s trail camera captured images of Rex Harbour, 26, walking through the woods and taking up position along Highway 365 late Friday morning. Couch said Harbour fired 17 times with a 9-millimeter handgun, hitting seven cars and injuring three people. A 72-year-old man was hit in the hip and a 54-year-old man was hit in the leg. Both are expected to be OK. Another person was injured due to a shattered window.
