Police reports describe Holliday as the victim of an armed robbery, with the suspect, Randall T. Taylor, charged with robbery and firearm violations. Despite Holliday&#8217;s role as a victim, the St. Louis Housing Authority sent him an eviction notice for &#8220;criminal activity,&#8221; citing footage of him firing a gun during the altercation. Holliday and Taylor had a dispute over a stolen firearm, which led to the shooting. Taylor remains jailed without bond. The Housing Authority emphasized resident safety but did not comment further.Holliday expressed frustration over the eviction process, noting the lack of concern for his well-being. The incident raises questions about gun policies in public housing, especially since legal experts suggest such bans may violate Second Amendment rights, as courts have previously ruled in favor of residents&#8217; firearm rights in similar cases.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The St. Louis Housing Authority told a wheelchair-bound man to vacate his apartment after he shot a would-be robber.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Police and prosecutors described Torrey Holliday as the victim of an armed robbery in the Aug. 26 incident, Fox2Now.com, a St. Louis TV station, <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/fox2now.com\/news\/missouri\/would-be-robber-shot-by-wheelchair-bound-victim-police\/\">reported<\/a>, while Randall T. Taylor was charged with first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Despite the charges against Taylor, Holliday received a letter on Aug. 28 informing him he was being evicted for \u201ccriminal activity,\u201d <a class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__link\" href=\"https:\/\/fox2now.com\/news\/fox-files\/wheelchair-bound-man-evicted-after-shooting-would-be-robber\/\">according<\/a> to Fox2Now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cSecurity camera on August 26, 2026, shows you in a verbal altercation and then pulling out a gun, firing it multiple times inside the lobby of Euclid Plaza and shooting someone,\u201d the letter says under a checked box called \u201cCriminal Activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Holliday and Taylor argued over a firearm the latter allegedly stole from Holliday in July, with Taylor eventually pulling a gun and announcing a robbery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Taylor was being held without bond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cThe safety of our residents remains a top priority for the St. Louis Housing Authority (SLHA),\u201d the St. Louis Housing Authority told Fox2Now.com in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cWhile federal privacy requirements prevent us from discussing individual tenancy matters, SLHA takes conduct that threatens the health or safety of residents, staff, or the community seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">The St. Louis Housing Authority didn\u2019t immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cI woke up the next morning, they not even trying to ask me, \u2018Am I alright? What happened? Is it ok?\u2019 Nothing,\u201d Holliday told the local TV station. \u201cAll they hit me with was a\u2026 package saying, \u2018You got to be out.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">Residents told the St. Louis-area TV station there was an anti-firearm policy, but Holliday argues no signs were posted. The ban could also be on shaky legal ground, according to a Second Amendment litigation expert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cThe government cannot make a condition of living in public housing that its residents waive their fundamental rights,\u201d Second Amendment Foundation Senior Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack told the DCNF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"LexicalEditorTheme__paragraph\">\u201cPut simply, gun bans in public housing violate the Second Amendment. SAF has brought \u2013 and won \u2013 multiple cases exonerating the 2A rights of public housing residents, including most recently in Hunter v. Cortland Housing Authority in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimer\">\n<p>All content created by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an independent and nonpartisan newswire service, is available without charge to any legitimate news publisher that can provide a large audience.
