Bodycam footage of the 2022 Bristol shooting that left 2 Connecticut police officers dead and another wounded.

October 12, 2022 - Officer Hamzy, Officer Iurato, and Sergeant DeMonte responded to 310 Redstone Hill Road. Officer Hamzy and Sergeant DeMonte parked their police cruisers directly in front of the house on the south side of Redstone Hill Road facing east. Officer Iurato parked his cruiser on the north side of the street facing west. All three officers exited their cruisers and walked up the driveway to the side door of the house. As they approached the driveway, Officer Hamzy mentioned, "I went to school with this kid."

Unbeknownst to the officers, Nicholas Brutcher had hidden himself near some bushes at the front of the house next door. This house, 328 Redstone Hill Road, was the home of Brutcher's parents, Joseph and Catrina Brutcher. Nicholas Brutcher was outfitted with a camouflage shirt and pants as well as a camouflage vest. He was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and at least one handgun. He also had several magazines of ammunition. From this position, Nicholas Brutcher had a direct line of sight on the officers as they walked up the driveway.

The house at 310 Redstone Hill Road has a detached garage. An open breezeway connects the house and garage. As the officers approached the house, they observed a shotgun leaning against the garage. Officer Hamzy examined the shotgun. Nathan Brutcher was inside the house and appeared in the doorway. Officer Iurato ordered him to come outside. As he exited the house, Nathan Brutcher said, "I don't even have my phone."

At that moment, from his position on the neighboring property, Nicholas Brutcher unleashed a volley of gunshots. He fired these rounds from the AR-15-style rifle. All three officers were hit, as was Nathan Brutcher. Officer Hamzy fell first. Nathan Brutcher retreated into the house. Sergeant DeMonte proceeded through the breezeway into the rear yard and saw Joseph Brutcher. He then returned to the driveway and toward Officer Hamzy where he collapsed onto the pavement. Officer Iurato, who was struck in the upper right leg area, also moved away through the breezeway to the rear yard.

Nicholas Brutcher emerged from his position next door and approached the fallen officers. Nicholas Brutcher walked to the driveway and toward Officer Hamzy and Sergeant DeMonte. Nicholas Brutcher's parents, who had come outside and in the rear yard of their home, saw what happened next. Nicholas Brutcher proceeded to stand over each officer and fire multiple shots into them – first Sergeant DeMonte and then Officer Hamzy. Upon seeing this, Catrina Brutcher began to scream uncontrollably for Nicholas Brutcher to stop. At one point, Nicholas Brutcher's AR-15 stopped firing (he had incorrectly inserted the magazine) and he switched to a handgun and continued firing. During this time, Nicholas Brutcher yelled, "How proud are you of me? How proud?"

Officer Iurato moved along the back of the house emerging in the yard of the house on the west side of 310 Redstone Hill Road. He radioed for assistance and continued moving until he reached the police cruisers parked on Redstone Hill Road. Officer Iurato heard sounds indicating that Nicholas Brutcher was attempting to load a firearm. From his position, Officer Iurato could see Nicholas Brutcher who was still in the driveway in front of the garage. Bracing himself against Officer Hamzy's cruiser, Officer Iurato fired one shot striking Nicholas Brutcher at the base of his skull killing him.
