After attempting to impersonate a police officer and drawing his weapon when real police confronted him, a former Western Massachusetts man was shot and killed in Oklahoma earlier this month.

On Oct. 1, Oklahoma Highway Patrol responded to a report that a man was impersonating a police officer. They found David Allen Rawson, 62, at the Whitehorse Apartments in Yukon, Oklahoma, and attempted to take him into custody, according to Sarah Stewart, public information officer for the state police in the Sooner State.

“During a scuffle, the suspect drew a weapon in the direction of an Oklahoma City police officer. The trooper and a Yukon police officer discharged their firearms, killing the suspect,” Stewart said.
