In agony due to a gunshot wound from an ambush that had just killed two comrades, a Connecticut police officer’s bodycam shows him hobbling back behind a police cruiser and firing a single bullet at the suspect. Investigators say the shot was fatal.
“Shots fired, shots fired, more cars, send everyone,“ a breathless Officer Alec Iurato said, according to a segment of body camera footage released Sunday. It is part of a preliminary report by the state’s Office of the Inspector General in connection with the Wednesday’s shooting in the town of Bristol.
The inspector general’s office said Iurato, Sgt. Dustin DeMonte and Officer Alex Hamzy went to the house shortly before 11 p.m. in response to a 911 call. Authorities say the call was made by Nicholas Brutcher, 35.
They spoke to Brutcher’s brother Nathan at a side door, and told him to step out of the house.
