BOSTON — An Easton police officer shot and killed a 56-year-old woman who had pointed what appeared to be a rifle at officers before the gunfire, according to police.
Sunday’s fatal police shooting is under investigation after an officer shot to death Marianne Griffiths, who had actually aimed a pump action BB gun at the officers.
On Sunday morning at around 11:30 a.m., the Southeastern Regional Emergency Communications Center received a 911 call from an Ashland resident requesting a well-being check for his mother in Easton. The caller said his mother, Griffiths, had told him that she had injected herself with a dangerous amount of insulin in an attempt to take her own life.
