PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Portland mother says she lost two sons in one day — a 23-year-old who died of heart and kidney failure and a 25-year-old shot by police less than 12 hours later.

As Marva Davis made plans Monday for a double funeral, she told The Oregonian that her older son, Aaron Campbell, had been distraught over the death last Friday morning of Timothy Douglass.

Portland police fatally shot Campbell on Friday evening in the parking lot of a girlfriend’s apartment after being called about a suicidal man with a gun.

Family and witnesses say Campbell was not carrying a gun; police would not confirm that. They did seize a pistol with four bullets from a closet of the apartment.

On Monday, police identified the officer who shot Campbell as Ronald Frashour, an eight-year veteran. Police say the officer fired only after Campbell began making statements to officers that they were going to have to shoot him and behaved in a threatening manner.

The shooting is under investigation.
