How they died
Deadly force
Only about 50 guests were expected at an evening outdoor graduation party at a Masonic lodge, but the gathering drew several hundred people, including Dawson. An officer called to disperse the crowd heard and saw a nuzzle flash as Dawson fired his handgun at others, and fatally shot him as he was running away.
