'He is not letting us get into our home': Police identify man who attacked officers with knife outside Holly Springs home

According to police, Ryan Eric Schlosser, 30, was acting erratically, blocking a neighbor from access to their driveway and garage on Cobalt Creek Way and ran into a home when they tried to get him under control.

Officers James Colucci and Edgar Hernandez shot Schlosser after he attacked them with a knife. He died at a hospital.

Schlosser's next door neighbor, who didn't want to speak on camera, said he heard four gunshots.

In a 911 call obtained by WRAL News, a neighbor can be heard describing a person, apparently Schlosser. "There is a gentleman standing outside of our home and he is threatening my husband ... he is not letting us get into our home," the caller says.

She goes on to say the man said he heard the couple arguing and was asking her if her husband "treats her right."

"He said we were yelling ... which was completely untrue," she describes. The couple said they had a baby in the car and were concerned when the man came close to their car door.

The man appeared to be smoking or vaping and was wearing a green hoodie, the caller said. He told them he lived in a townhome next to their own.

Officers Colucci and Hernandez, who were both hired with the Holly Springs Police Department in 2020, were put on administrative leave after the shooting, standard protocol when an officer fires a weapon. The State Bureau of Investigation will review their actions.

The officers, who were wearing body cameras, were not seriously hurt.
