On the night of October 12, 2022, Officer Alex Hamzy, 34, a member of the Bristol Police Department, was killed in an ambush after responding with colleagues to a deliberately fabricated 911 report of a domestic dispute on Redstone Hill Road. Hamzy and Sergeant Dustin DeMonte approached the house around 10:30 p.m. and were engaging with Nathan Brutcher at a side door when Nicholas Brutcher, 35, opened fire from a concealed position with an AR-15-style rifle.

Hamzy was struck and died at the scene; Sergeant DeMonte was mortally wounded and later died at the hospital. Officer Alec Iurato was shot in the leg but returned fire, fatally wounding Nicholas Brutcher, who fired more than 80 rounds, then switched to a handgun after his rifle jammed. Investigators described the ambush as premeditated; the brothers had been involved earlier that day in an altercation at a local bar that led to police contact. Nathan Brutcher, who was wounded, was not charged. Hamzy, an eight-year veteran, was posthumously promoted to Sergeant.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity on Redstone Hill Road the night of the attack or have information about the earlier bar altercation?
