Midland Police Sued by Family of Unarmed Man Fatally Shot by Police

Midland, Texas

Midland, Texas - The family of a man shot and killed during a standoff with police has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Midland.

The plaintiffs claim that Paul Holland did not have a weapon in his hand as he exited his home that day, therefore there was no need for officers to fire weapons.

Documents show that Holland’s wife did call police that day for a welfare check, worried about her husband who had previously been hospitalized for his mental condition.
