Miami Township, Ohio (WKEF)-The 22-year-old Jayden Stephenson was declared dead at the scene after he was shot by the police.

In the 911 call she can tell the dispatcher: “I have to come here, my son has drawn a knife on us. He has a mental illness. There is something going on with him. “

Jayden remained calm for a few minutes. When several family members tried to get him to drop the knife, his mother told the dispatcher that he was becoming aggressive again.

“Now he comes to us. I just don't want him to be hurt, “said his mother.” Do you think he will work with us? “Asked the dispatcher.

Officers arrived on site and ordered him to drop the knife about 29 times over the course of seven minutes. He can refuse to fall the weapon in body camerasurms.

Stephenson then rose from his chair, where the police fired non-fatal bean bags and tried to separate him, but he managed to run up the stairs and close into a bedroom. The officials followed him and broke the door where they found it on the bottom of the bathroom. He demanded that he dropped the knife and again did not fire fatal bean bags and wore him.

After Stephenson got up from the ground, the officials opened the fire. After life -saving measures, he was declared dead at the scene.

The Miami Township police initially said that an official was injured, but that was later decided to be wrong. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation carries out an independent examination.
