Veteran suffering from PTSD is fatally shot when he pointed a rifle at the deputy Rudolph. OH - The family of George Erik Taylor, a 20-year Marine and Coast Guard veteran who was fatally shot by a deputy in Rudolph, Ohio during a wellness check in 2024, is turning their grief into action. According to the sheriff's office, deputies responded to 8401 S. Dixie Highway in Rudolph just before 1 a.m. for a health and welfare check after Wood County dispatch received a call saying that the person at the address, later identified by the sheriff's office as George Taylor, was suicidal. Taylor's family has launched a new nonprofit aimed at helping veterans struggling with PTSD. Taylor died in June 2024 after an encounter with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office. According to deputies, Taylor pointed a rifle at law enforcement while they were performing a wellness check that had been requested for him. In response, a deputy opened fire, resulting in Taylor's death. Since then, Taylor’s family has been working to honor his memory through the creation of the G.E.T. Hope Veterans Foundation — named after Taylor’s initials, George Erik Taylor. The organization seeks to raise awareness about PTSD and provide resources to veterans who may be silently struggling.
