Using Red Flag law, woman files paperwork against CSU officer who shot and killed her son
POSTED 6:11 PM, JANUARY 14, 2020, BY LORI JANE GLIHA, ERIC RUBLE AND ASHLEY MICHELS
LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. -- A woman has filed a petition and affidavit for an extreme risk protection order (ERPO) against the Colorado State University police officer who fatally shot her son in 2017.
The paperwork was filed Jan. 9. A judge will hear the case Thursday.
To file an ERPO, someone must meet certain conditions, such as living with or be related to the gun owner.
In the ERPO, under penalty of perjury, Susan Holmes claims she has a child in common with CSU police Officer Phillip Morris.
Holmes told the FOX31 Problems she planned to argue in court that she had a different interpretation of what “have a child in common” actually means.
Susan Holmes' son, Jeremy Holmes, 19, was killed during an encounter with Morris and another police officer on July 1, 2017. Holmes possessed a large hunting knife at the time and body camera footage shows he started running toward the officers with the weapon before they opened fire.
District Attorney Clifford Riedel found the shooting to be “clearly justified.”
In the ERPO, Holmes says Morris "used his firearm to recklessly and violently threaten and kill 19-year-old Jeremy Holmes."
The FOX31 Problem Solvers learned there are a total of five ERPOs filed in Colorado courts so far.
Two were filed in Denver County, two were filed in Larimer County and one was filed and denied in Lincoln County.

I would file paperwork against this woman’s reproductive organs.
Good idea!
The video is conclusive that the cops were very patient and the dumb kid ran at them with a hunting knife.
This is what happens when people refuse to discipline their kids; they become out of control and a c op has to shoot them.
I know a cop in Fountain that had to shoot a kid for the same reason.
Hardcore liberal Democrat, one of those in which words have the meanings they need to have, to achieve a given leftist goal.
Having a child in common, you ignorant evil bitch, means the child was conceived with his semen and your egg, and was birthed through your birth canal or delivered by C-section.
Or maybe that he legally adopted this 19-year-old ‘child’.
Other than that, eff the effing eff off.
Yep!
I don’t see why she should be allowed to endanger or threaten anyone with these things.
Get ‘em out!
why don’t cops aim for main arm or a leg. guy had a knife, if shot in arm or leg it would have stunned and thwarted advance of guy with knife. police were not in as much life threatening danger from the guy with knife to shoot to kill. I support poilce but some over react unnecessarily.
An insane criminal mommy. Her son committed suicide by cop.
Children tend to think maiming is appropriate, just like children tend not to use the capitalization in their writing.
Idiot. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Running towards someone with a weapon while they are pointing a gun at you is NOT the way to live long and that woman has NO basis for her frivolous lawsuit.
Under those circumstances, I'd shoot, too. I'm not going to stand there and take getting knifed and possibly killed to pamper someones baby.
Why didn’t he just shoot the knife out of the kid’s hand? You watch WAY too much TV.
I think you qualify for reply of the day.
Basically an unintended consequence, but frivolous indeed.
Thanks. Lazy people tend to bug me.

apparently words have different meanings to some people
Hopefully the DA files charges against this deranged woman. I understand she may be grieving poorly at the loss of her son but if the DA does not make an example by charging (and accept a plea), more people will abuse the law that is ripe for abusing.
This is an excellent development. We’ll see how crazy the courts get now. The Colorado Cat Lady legislature have a plan for us.
Just as we suspected, the entire intent of the left was to use these red flag laws as a form of political harassment and intimidation. Hope she gets hammered with damages for filing a frivolous petition.
