'I am traumatized': Father recounts police shooting inside Independence apartment that killed baby, mother
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Mitchell Holder still lives in his Independence apartment, but he can no longer sleep in his bedroom.
"It’s very difficult for me to be in here," Holder told KSHB 41 Tuesday. "In this room, it feels like the presences of both of them — of souls."
Holder said the Nov. 7 police shooting happened in the bedroom he shared with his girlfriend, Maria Pike, and his infant daughter, Destinii.
Holder said his mother, Talisa Coombs, and Pike got into an argument over who was best suited to take care of baby Destinii.
Independence police and investigators have not said how Pike or Destinii died, but that the mother had a knife and an officer fired their weapon.
Holder said Tuesday that he did not see Pike with a knife.

The police shot and killed a mother and her 2 year old child. The child was shot in the head. The police who did this need to be put in prison for life with no parole. This kind of thing must stop.
