TRENTON, Fla. — A man who killed two Florida deputies eating lunch in a restaurant had an “extreme dislike” for law enforcement, but investigators have found no specific plans or motive for the April shooting, according to a new report. John Highnote, 59, of Bell, killed himself after shooting the two Gilchrist County deputies at a Trenton restaurant on April 19. “Besides Highnote’s affinity for walking around his home with a handgun or rifle, there was no specific evidence to indicate that he planned an attack on law enforcement,” said a Florida Department of Law Enforcement report released Friday. Former co-workers and a woman he briefly dated said Highnote was known for having confrontations with people, the report said. Highnote killed himself in his car outside the restaurant.
