Upon arrival officers encountered 58-year-old Edward Holmes, and he had a shotgun and fit the exact description from the report. The first two police cars that arrived stopped about 50 feet away from where Holmes was and the officers took cover behind their car doors. Officers told Holmes numerous times to drop his weapon, but he fired it instead. Officers returned fire after Holmes raised the gun a second time. Holmes was struck two times, once in the chest and once in the arm. Officers on the scene rendered aid until the Buffalo Fire Department and AMR arrived, but Holmes was pronounced dead at the scene. The two officers who fired their weapons were identified by Buffalo Police as Joshua Slupinski, a five-year veteran, and Andrew Lewis, who has been with the department for 18 months. A total of 20 rounds were fired between the two Officers. Officer Slupinski fired 14 rounds and Officer Lewis fired six rounds. It was determined that Holmes was the person who placed the original 911 call. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - Shane AL Walker - matthew emanuel - 'Jun' - 'Xenik' - 'Rom' - 'wvot' - 'Cartoonjunkies' - john ferroato - 'Fishy Tuna' - 'GotsNoGroove Cheryl' - Lynn Boyer - Exus Altimus - 'Dawesenm' - William Bowman - Paul Rohrbaugh - Sandra McGreevy - 'Krazy KZ' - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - 'JTrip' - Lee Roberts - Brant Eaton - James Pringle - 'AccuShoot.com' - Meighan Garrick - 'Sopaul' - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - 'Necko' - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - 'Donkbot' - Gage Kissinger - 'coco Coco' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us at BuyMeACoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PoliceActivity Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Police_Activity 🛍️ Check out our Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/PoliceActivity 🛍️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
