He explained what he would like to express to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI forgive him. I pray for his salvation and Pier\u2019s, from that day,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cI forgive him, both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forgiveness is no easy thing. Aaron Shelton participated in the shooting that wounded Holloway and during the trial, the jury heard jailhouse phone recordings the next week in which Shelton laughed about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201d \u2026 that gentleman is sitting in jail, laughing on the phone without a care in the world, not realizing what each person was going through mentally, physically, and spiritually,\u201d Holloway said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A jury convicted Shelton of 22 charges including murder. Officers said they were forced to kill his cousin Pier Shelton to end the rampage after three officers were wounded and seven were shot at. Aaron Shelton will pay the price and will be sentenced for murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two other officers wounded that day are also expected to testify at the sentencing Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This past January, Sgt. Rob Holloway retired from the Carrollton Police Department for medical reasons. He says the shooting that almost took his life did eventually end his career. He now works with other first responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"480\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 608 \/ 480;\" width=\"608\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_5928.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The now-retired&nbsp;Carrollton&nbsp;police officer who was critically wounded by a suspect carrying an AK-47 during a&nbsp;police chase in 2021&nbsp;spoke to FOX 5 exclusively.
