- A man was released from the hospital following an officer-involved shooting in Manchester. He is now facing charges.

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

The state Department of Criminal Justice and the Office of the Inspector General released body camera footage of the encounter on Tuesday:

The Connecticut Department of Justice shared body cam video from an officer-involved shooting that happened Sunday in Manchester.

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

“The first officer to arrive on scene heard a male and female yelling,” police said in a news release. “The officer made contact with them, and a confrontation occurred between the male and the officer.”

The Office of the Inspector General identified the officer as Manchester Police Officer Haylee Oullette.

When she arrived, investigators said Ouellette entered the home and was confronted by Joseph Diloreto. Diloreto, who was armed with a knife, immediately became belligerent with Ouellette.

They said that as he advanced toward Ouellette, she put out her hand to stop him and he slapped her hand away.

Investigators said Diloreto yelled “shoot me.” In an effort to neutralize Diloreto, Officer Ouellette deployed her taser, but it was unsuccessful.

They said Diloreto, still holding the knife, continued to advance on Ouellette. She retreated to an adjacent courtyard and repeatedly commanded Diloreto to drop the knife.

Investigators said Diloreto disregarded the commands and continued to advance on Ouellette and shouted “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.

The victim was transported to Hartford Hospital for a non-life-threatening injury, according to police.

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.
