GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Family members said the man accused of shooting his two neighbors and then killing himself spent three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Police identified the gunman in Wednesday night's shooting as 27-year-old Dennis Dugger.
Gwinnett County police said Dugger, who lived in the Indian Trail Apartment Homes, shot several rounds into the ceiling of his apartment leading into the victims' apartment because he was upset with the amount of noise the couple was making.
Dugger then fired several rounds into the couple's front door, forced himself into the apartment and then fired several more rounds through the bathroom door where the victims had barricaded themselves, police said.
Keyla Rubio, 19, and Brian J. Sarachini, 20, were both shot. Police described their wounds as non-life-threatening.
After a standoff Wednesday night, police found Dugger dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
