COLUMBUS, Ohio - The family of the man shot and killed by Columbus police officers is speaking with 10TV.

Officers say Jason White, 31 was wielding a knife when he lunged at officers in the 2100 block of Gables Lake Drive Sunday morning.

White suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and paranoid schizophrenia, according to family members.

His mother, Patti Stevens-Rucker, says her son is an Army veteran who served overseas and was never quite the same when he came back.

Stevens-Rucker, however, disputes the allegations that White was aggressive with officers.

She describes her son as considerate and sensitive but troubled after he recently served a tour of duty in Iraq.
