How they died
Deadly force
Sgt. Mike Gleeson and officer Chad Dermyer responded to an "unknown disturbance" at around 7:30 p.m. Terrance "Terry" Wheeler, who'd been released from a psychiatric facility earlier that day, had stabbed his brother on the front lawn of a former girlfriend's home. According to police, Gleeson kicked open the bathroom door and found Wheeler stabbing Dorothy Holliday. Police said Gleeson shot Wheeler when he refused to stop. Wheeler reportedly got back up and continued stabbing Holliday, prompting Gleeson to fire more shots and kill Wheeler. Holliday died from her injuries. Wheeler's brother survived.
