How they died
Deadly force
An officer responded to a complaint at Holland's residence. Holland threatened to kill himself, his wife and the officer. The officer left the residence with Holland's wife. SWAT officers responded. After negotiation, Holland stepped out onto his front yard with a pistol, a cell phone, or both. Officers told Holland to empty his hands. Instead, he turned to face them. Sergeant Mitch Russell and Officers Sean Sharp and James Nolan fatally shot him. The Texas Ranger Division investigated. Holland's family accepted a $45,000 settlement.
