The man Scottsdale police shot and killed after he threatened officers with pool cues was a former Marine with two tours of duties in Iraq, according to family members.

Jason Edward Prostrollo, 25, was shot dead early Saturday after officers were called to the north Scottsdale home of Prostrollo's acquaintances, police said.

Around 4 a.m., police received a call from a 35-year-old woman saying Prostrollo, a guest in her home, was drunk and fighting with her 50-year-old boyfriend, and had a knife.

Prostrollo worked in reconnaissance as a sergeant in the Marines and was discharged two years ago, said Prostrollo's father, Warren Prostrollo of Paradise Valley.

Warren didn't have any additional information about what happened the morning of the shooting, but he said the account of Prostrollo's actions in a police report "sounds so unlike him."
