CONNECTICUT – Manchester police released bodycam video of an officer involved shooting that took place on July 16. The suspect is now facing charges.

Manchester police were at a housing complex on North Main Street for hours on Sunday night.

Police said they responded around 6:30 p.m. to a reported domestic dispute.

When Manchester Police Officer Haylee Oullette, she was confronted by Joseph Diloreto. Diloreto, who was armed with a knife, immediately became belligerent with Ouellette.

Investigators said Diloreto disregarded the commands and advanced on Ouellette with the name while shouting “Hit me, hit me, hit me.”

Ouellette discharged her handgun multiple times and struck Diloreto in the upper left thigh.

He fell to the ground and Ouellette was able to secure the knife and handcuff him.

Manchester police said Diloreto was released from the hospital Tuesday.

Diloreto was arrested and charged with threatening second-degree, criminal attempt to commit assault first-degree, and assault of public safety personnel.

Police said Diloreto is held on a $250,000 bond. He will be arraigned in Manchester court Wednesday if he does not post bond.
