Preston Ray Holloway

Deadly force

At about 11:31 p.m., the Belton Police Department attempted to pull over a red Ford Explorer, driven by Preston Ray Holloway, for suspicious activity and driving without a license plate. Instead, Holloway opened the door and began firing at officers before driving south. Two Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers were working a traffic stop and were able to stop the other using stop sticks. Holloway, got out of his other and pointed a gun at his own head. He then walked down the interstate pointing the gun at passing vehicles and at one point firing a shot. The man then forced another driver out of a white GMC Terrain and began driving north into Raymore, Missouri. Police stopped him in a subdivision. Holloway began walking away from officers and pointed the gun at his own head before turning it toward the officers, who shot and killed him at about 11:50 p.m.
