Mental Health Issues

Oregon -- A 31-year-old man with a history of mental health issues, including several suicide attempts, has been shot and killed by police in Clackamas.

The father of three and native from Hawaii ran an online mixed martial arts community, according to oregonlive.com.

The man was allegedly involved in a domestic disturbance with a weapon. As officers arrived, they saw a vehicle leaving the area, moving erratically and failing to yield to emergency lights.

The car was surrounded by deputies when it stopped minutes later in a school parking lot. The driver reportedly would not comply with commands and brandished a handgun in what police described as a "life-threatening" manner.
