Matthew A. Hollgarth

Deadly force

An off-duty state conservation police officer shot Matthew A. Hollgarth, who had reportedly forced his way into the officer's home in pursuit of a woman who'd fled there from a car. According to police, the woman came to the officer's door at around 12:20 a.m. pleading for help. Hollgarth followed the woman and allegedly broke down the door and came inside. Police said the officer retreated through the house while shielding the woman and his children, and that he shot Hollgarth after he continued to act aggressively and came "within mere feet."
