A National Guard soldier who also served as a police officer in Grand Forks, North Dakota, was killed in a shootout Wednesday afternoon that also took the life of a woman, injured another law enforcement officer and wounded the suspect who authorities say initiated the exchange.
1st Lt. Cody Holte, 29, was killed during the shootout at a local apartment building while assisting two sheriff’s deputies after they were met with gunfire when they attempted to evict a tenant on a judge’s orders, according to local officials.
The suspect, 41-year-old Salamah Q. Pendleton, initiated the exchange with the sheriff’s deputies, said Grand Forks County Sheriff Andrew Schneider during a press conference Thursday afternoon.
