Daniel K. Holt

Male, White

Date of the incident: 2/10/2013

Dayton, Montgomery, OH
101 E Helena Street

Holt allegedly pulled a SKS rifle on police and refused to drop it. Holt was shot by Dayton Police sergeants Mark Ponichtera and Andrew Gillig in Island Metropark and died at Miami Valley Hospital. Police said that suicide by cop was "... a fairly accurate description.” Dayton Police reports show three occasions between November 2010 and May 2011 when Holt described himself as suicidal and was taken to a hospital for a 72-hour psychiatric hold.
