GILCHRIST COUNTY, Fla. — A new report on the murders of two Gilchrist County Sheriff's deputies reveals more about the gunman's past. 

  • New report reveals details about gunman's past
  • John Highnote shot, killed two Gilchrist deputies in April
  • Highnote shot, killed himself after killing deputies
  • Report shows Highnote's hatred for law enforcement

The 132-page report from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement paints a picture of the gunman, 59-year-old John Highnote, as a very angry man. 

It also alludes that both deputies were caught off guard because both of their guns were still in their holsters. 

Agents said the gunman didn't know his two victims, 29-year-old Sergeant Noel Ramirez and 25-year-old Deputy Taylor Lindsey. 

Officials said Ramirez and Lindsey were eating lunch at Ace China restaurant in the small town of Trenton when they were ambushed back in April.

Highnote then went back into his jeep and turned the gun on himself. 

The FDLE report said Highnote hated law enforcement and family members described him as a loner. They said he no longer had a job after getting fired from a construction company for reported anger issues. 

According to the report, Agents found a typed message at his house posted on his refrigerator. 

The note read, "To the cowards who violated every aspect of my life and privacy, destroyed my sense of safety, and turned everyone around me against me, you have no idea what's coming. I will personally see to it that you are in the eye of the storm, and held accountable for your actions."

The report also stated that Highnote had cameras, guns, and ammunition all over his Gilchrist County property. Investigators found more than 10,000 photos on memory cards in his home, and in 200 of them, he had a gun in his hands. 

And despite Highnote's hatred for law enforcement, he only had one known run-in with the law. Investigators said a woman he had previously dated accused him of stalking her in Clay County.
