"Cops responded to a 911 tipster who saw Mason showing off a handgun to three pals outside 420 E. 105th St. shortly before 12:50 a.m., police said. He was 5 to 10 feet from the second group of officers when he pointed the weapon at a 13-year veteran and refused an order to drop the gun, Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said yesterday.
The officer fired one round, hitting Mason in the neck, police said. Mason's gun had one round in the chamber and three in the magazine, police said.
Neighbors held a vigil last night to protest Mason's death."
