Granville Holben, a Pennsylvania farmer, killed Sheriff Mark Sensenbach and Deputy Harry Seigfreid when they came to serve a school attendance warrant. He fled to his burning home and was shot to death as he tried to barricade himself inside.
A farm siege ended with Holben mortally wounding by firing on deputies. His daughter handed him a gun after he hid in his house. Deputies, including Sensenbach and Siegfried, were wounded. Holben claimed divine status and refused to till his land despite a prior January conviction.
