Where are you coming from? How long have you been here? >> You don't have a driver's license? >> No. >> Not on you. >> They're not finding a deal, a driver's license record for James Duncan. Do you have anything in the vehicle with your name on it? >> NO. [screaming] >> Police officers are trained to recognize danger before it becomes a threat. But what happens when the warning signs go unnoticed? >> Where are you? Where are you? You're good. Come on. I got you this way. >> These were the moments when officers didn't realize the suspect was about to take their life. We begin with a case where a routine welfare check involving a man who had been harassing employees at a car dealership quickly escalated into a tragedy for the officers involved. >> I'm about to go off. >> How you doing? What's going on, man? >> Hey sail. On September 6th, 2023, officers responded to a disturbance call after a man entered a car dealership accusing employees of violating the law. As the situation continued to escalate, authorities arrived at the scene in an attempt to deescalate the encounter and determine what had happened. However, the suspect's reaction would soon turn what appeared to be a routine call into a far more serious incident. >> He across the street over here at McDonald's. I seen him earlier, I think. >> Probably uh straight down the hall. >> Very last time. >> Hi there. >> Hey, what's up? Y'all okay? >> Our friends. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, my bad. Hey, look.

I will not. >> You need to. >> No, I don't. >> You need to. >> You just hang out for me. >> I ain't going to hang out nowhere. You don't tell me what to do. I tell you what to do.

STAND DOWN. GET OUT. STAND. >> GET OUT. ESTIMON. QUIT. ESTIMON. QUIT. QUIT. >> During the encounter, the officer was shot after the situation escalated. Authorities later identified the suspect as 41-year-old Estabbon. The incident quickly transformed what had begun as a routine call into a major criminal investigation. >> Yeah, Estabbon. HEY, >> TAKE COVER. TAKE COVER. >> Are you almost here? Help me, man. Ma'am, help me. >> Where you at? >> I'm right here. >> Help me. subject back in the back and you stay with me.

You're good. >> You're going to eat me out here. >> You're good. You're good. Where am I? Where am I? You're good. We got EMS coming. >> I don't get no pulse. >> The suspect had been subdued by a ride along, increasing the urgency among responding officers as they rushed to provide aid to both him and the injured officer. >> Let's drag him out. This is the suspect strangled. >> Has he been hit or anything? This he was riding I guess. >> Okay. >> He was riding. It's okay. Just take a breath. We need KSP. We need to talk to him, not us. >> No. Matt Davis is down. Davis, >> I believe that's who it is. Yeah. >> Let's get him out. Come on. >> That door. That door right there. >> Get him outside.

Bring your arms down, baby. >> Come on. >> As well. Yep. I'm escorting. >> God damn it. >> Is moving in about 30 seconds. >> So I tackled him. >> I tackled him right there. >> Right here.

Here here what we need to do. We don't need to go up in the craft. You stay back here. Right out here, sir. >> I tell you what. >> Yeah, let's sit in one of these chairs. You're in air condition. >> At this point, the responding officer was accompanied by a ride along. As the situation escalated, the ride along stepped in to confront the suspect in an attempt to stop him, leading to an unexpected outcome. >> I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything else. >> The what? I'll bring you up here, too. >> We're trying to find you that way. >> Yeah. >> No, just go out this door over here. We'll meet >> Yeah, we'll meet you over here. [music] >> When he walk in, where did he lead to? When he walked out of the building, where did he go? >> You didn't walk out the dude building. I I'm right there. >> Okay. >> I hit him right there. I didn't let him go out of the building. >> It's just a kind of a CYA thing. You know what I mean? >> It's just a ca thing. Just making sure. You know what I mean? >> Are you the guy that was riding in the woods? >> Okay. All right. Come with me, bud. He'll take care of this. I got >> Are you okay? >> I'm fine. I just worry about Matt.

I was going to come to Matt. Then Hugh and and Bet said that they were coming and wanted me >> to go to somewhere else >> to go somewhere else. And then when the call came out, they wanted me to come back here. How long you been here? >> You're good, right? Bro, >> I'm so sorry, brother. >> Okay, you're good. All right, this is a one in a lifetime thing. This kind of thing. >> I could I could have let you go, man. I could have let you go. >> As the investigation progressed, medical personnel confirmed that the suspect had not survived the chokeold he had been placed in. At the same time, the injured officer remained in critical condition, leading investigators to conduct more extensive interviews with witnesses in an effort [music] to piece together exactly what had occurred. >> Appreciate you. >> Yes, sir. Both. >> Take both. >> Y guys come to talk to you. >> Okay. >> How you like your job? >> Love it. >> Not because of this though. >> No. No. Do they? And today sucks, but >> do you get a lot of those?

I came in at 6:00 tonight with this incident. >> Okay. >> So, I don't have any information. I spoke to our criminal investigations captain and he said since we've turned over to them, you'll have to contact them for any further information. >> In the end, the injured officer survived despite being hospitalized in critical condition and later underwent a lengthy recovery process. Authorities also confirmed that no charges were filed against the [music] ride along for his actions during the incident, bringing the case to a close. Next, what began as a routine response to a fight involving two brothers at a bar would eventually escalate into one of the dead [music] encounters local officers had ever faced. right now. >> On October 12th, 2022, in Bristol, Connecticut, 35-year-old Nicholas Butcher got into a bar fight after drinking with his brother, Nathan. Later that night, police tracked down the car they'd been driving away in. >> Jeep creeper. Come get me to come get him. This what I get. Where's Officer Hamzy tonight? He's not working over here tonight. I think he's off. >> Hit him up, Tommy. Nick said hi. >> I could out this mother. >> Stop the [ __ ] I'll be ghost. >> He thinks he's like, >> he wouldn't want to chase me. >> No, not this. >> You You would not. We out. >> No, no, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about. >> But that's just funny. We just talk about funny stuff like that. We're comedy. >> Nathan. >> Upon making contact with Nicholas and his brother Nathan, the officers were immediately put on edge. Nicholas was visibly intoxicated and it quickly became clear that three officers might not be enough to keep the situation under control. >> Hang tight in the truck. >> Now, I'm going to go talk to the cop, my brother. >> What is this? >> Yeah. I don't know what you're doing. I'm going to talk. I'm going to talk with my brother and >> yourself. You're not listening and you're making the situation much worse. >> No, no, I can stand right here. You're going to stay right here. If you move, you are going to be placed under arrest for interview with an investigation. Okay. Stay right here. >> No, he's fine. >> Chill out, Nick. >> Five seven be cops. >> Mr. McKenzie J. >> They let large pieces of what? What do you do? Stop. >> Don't worry about what the I liner filler. >> I make a ton more money than you do. >> Look at you mess. >> Yeah.

Okay, then that's it. >> But you did it to her. >> Okay, I'll walk home, dude. >> How does that help? >> It's not going to make It's not going to make your short any longer, bro. >> Why do you talk about my dude? Cuz you're >> You are nothing. You're nothing. You're I >> can I tell them we're good? >> Yeah. Tell me you're good in the truck.

Yeah, cuz I got a I got a job that makes money, not a [ __ ] police officer. >> GO [ __ ] LICK YOUR DOG. >> GO lick your dog's [ __ ] Yeah, see you. >> Get back in your truck. >> See? Oh, look what you did. >> That brief confrontation, though fueled by alcohol, was likely something Nicholas remembered clearly. His actions later that night made one thing certain. His hatred for law enforcement ran deep. That's right. >> He's like a ninja. >> He is. No. [ __ ] you, dude. >> Passenger seat, dude. I really I really I really want to hurt you right now. So So >> tell him to get in the passenger seat, buddy. Tell him to get in the passenger seat, please. >> Like I won't see from 800 yard. >> 800 yard. >> Stop. >> Yeah. >> Passenger seat, >> please. No, we're not. We're not going anywhere. >> They're They are lying. >> So, we can't sit right here. Sit in the truck. >> Can we sit in the truck? >> The car is going to get to >> And we are going to walk away. >> Can we sit in it? >> No, I'm not sitting. >> He said we could. >> Then you >> That's cuz I get ruined out of this [ __ ] >> You're not getting ruined because like I wouldn't pick you up, >> NICK. LOOK AT POTION. Enough of them here. >> Then chill [ __ ] out. >> [ __ ] >> Knock me out the car. >> Look at He knocked me out once. Let's see you do it again right now. >> If you want to get through the cops, you got to give me one more [ __ ] time. >> Leave me alone. >> I'm not in the car. >> Get in the vehicle. >> Absolutely. >> Can you put him in cuffs? >> No, you can't put me in cuffs right here. I've done nothing to be cuffs. >> Because Nathan's license was suspended, their car had to be towed. As they waited, Nicholas's combative behavior escalated sharply. >> Oh, [ __ ] That's my garage. >> You know, bro, >> you're you're [ __ ] hilarious. >> Yeah, boy. >> I would love to be [ __ ] 56. >> Jesus Christ. It would be so sweet to be 5'6, though. for a ride yet? >> He did. >> He did. >> I'm talking to >> Shut your mouth. You're the [ __ ] guy in the rat. >> Shut up. >> Honestly, >> you're not You guys aren't going to shoot on. >> You guys aren't going to do anything. >> So, check your check your back to the fifth in the rack >> and sit your [ __ ] ass in your car and do nothing back home >> and do nothing. Leave us alone. Cops are coming. >> Cops are here. >> Goodbye. >> That's what I meant. Cops are here. >> No, I'm not. He's not trying to be scared. >> Yo, we're not scared of you. That's a fact. >> Well, you guys are being [ __ ] actually aggressive and it's annoying. >> Don't be aggressive to me. >> Please. We're trying to get this figured out. >> That little that little that little push that happened. >> I'm so tough to nothing. >> I'm so tough. >> Bring this home. I have a DOG THAT I >> YOU GUYS BE COOL, >> [ __ ] I lick my dogs home. >> I lick my dog's car every night at home. Oh my god. >> Shut the up. >> See, he thinks >> I didn't drive. I didn't drive. I'm in no trouble. >> I I'm fine. >> No trouble. Everybody, every single one of you suckers can get on their knees. >> They need to go >> and suck on my dick. >> They're sitting here like they're important, but they need to go. >> Nah, he's not important. He's like, "Fuck." >> He might be walk away from >> He's 22 years old. >> He's 22 years. >> Nick. Nick. Nick. Bye. >> Well, you got to get Hang on one second. You got to get your ticket. >> Oh, that's fine. I'll take it. >> Yeah. Nathan, you just got to wait for your >> What is it? 76 bucks. 80. >> Not even that. >> 90. >> There you go. >> Are we going to get >> Yeah, we is. Soon, an officer brought a note that seemed to foreshadow just how dangerous Nicholas really was. >> Brother, you got to tell me. >> I love it. >> Is it is it sweet like that? >> I'm not going to kiss you. >> I think you want to. >> Why you so close my ticket? >> I'm just standing so close. I'm standing, brother. So, >> what is the [ __ ] co rule still? We can't talk. >> Officer Maguire, >> you make me so nervous. I'm so scared. You You are nervous, right? No. Yeah. >> Consideration. >> No. Silence. >> The fear pumping through me right now because of you is unreal. >> Ready? >> I know. It's >> Officer T. Can you move him? I'm fearing for my life right now. >> Get back. >> He's 23 years old. >> Must be arrested for interfering, I think, at this point. >> Good stuff. >> Where do I got to go? >> Stand by your truck. >> You know what happened? Right there. Right by the where you were standing before CC field. >> You got a hyphen. You got a hyphen in there. >> Nicholas got a hyphen. >> After being ticketed by police for disorderly conduct and having their vehicle towed, Nicholas returned home. Rooer immediately began putting on his camouflage, preparing his weapons, and within 30 minutes at 10:32 p.m. placed the call to 911 to lure officers to his home. >> Press 911. What's the address of the emergency? >> It is uh 310 Redstone Hill Road. Um your alter your officers had an altercation with a man earlier tonight and I don't know if he's good. >> Yeah, I did. Okay.

I just think that this young man needs some talking to. >> What young man? >> Nathan. >> Nathan what? >> Same last name. >> Okay. Where is he? >> He's in the home. >> He's at your house at 310 Redstone Hill Road. >> Yeah, he's it's it's it's not very good. I mean nothing. Who is he in relation to you? >> My brother. >> Your brother. Okay.

Where was the altercation? >> Fully clear. >> Um I I I couldn't tell you the road. It was it was it had to do with some with stuff from with with from from bleachers. >> Okay.

So, what's >> I mean, like like I I I don't want to fight my brother. He's just being very aggressive towards me at at the current time. And like I I don't want to get him in trouble. >> Okay. How old How old is Nathan? >> I also >> uh I want to say 25. >> Any weapons? >> No. >> Was it Has it been violent at all? Any physical? >> Uh I mean a little bit physical, but >> in what way?

I appreciate you. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thanks. With Nathan staged as the drunk brother needing a welfare check, the trap was set. Sergeant Dustin Deonte, Officer Alex Hamsey, and Officer Alec Urado responded to the call >> right now. >> 23 of them. bird. Damn you. [screaming] >> [clears throat] >> Oh [ __ ] Oh my god. Where do you have the address? >> 310 310 road. Although wounded in the upper leg area, Officer Urat was able to move around the back of the house and ultimately to the location of the Bristol police cruisers parked on Redstone Hill Road. From that position, Officer Urat fired a bullet that took down Nicholas for good. Sergeant Deonte and Officer Hamay were both pronounced deceased. Up next, what initially seemed like a straightforward vehicle stop soon escalated into a critical incident, placing the responding officer in immediate danger. >> What's going on? The reason why you don't have your seat belt on? Ed. >> On September 13th, 2025, officers were sent to investigate a vehicle near the airport after receiving information related to an individual with active arrest warrants. What initially seemed to be a routine traffic investigation quickly became more complicated when a seemingly straightforward approach developed into a serious incident after the passenger took an unexpected action. >> What's going on? The reason why you're not uh seat belt on it was. Huh? It was. It was. You got the driver's license. Can you roll down the back window? >> What's going on, buddy? >> Good. Good. You got the driver's license on you, too? >> Okay. You're not wearing your seat belt? >> Yeah, I know. I'm not jumping. >> Do you have any ID on you? >> Where you guys? >> What is it? Do you have a social? >> I do. >> What is the view from the [music] top of the world by the grave? I've been hold. [music] >> After injuring the officer, the passenger stole the vehicle and fled the scene. At this point, the driver rushed to assist the wounded officer, helping him reach safety while emergency responders were being notified. >> Report 1054. >> No bleeding in the leg. The legion of the vehicle or what they had on >> 104 subject. Just get back. Get back. Just get back. >> Help you. >> Yeah. >> HELP. PLEASE. WHAT ARE you going to do? >> Learn. >> Yes. >> Oh my god.

You have a tourniquet on you? >> Do you have a tourniquet on you? >> I got another belt. >> You got another belt or not? Cuz I don't have this one. Good. Is that the only place you were? >> Yes, I think so. >> As the situation unfolded, several civilians stepped in to help the injured officer, providing assistance and support till emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene. >> Almost more water. They already bridge. >> I just opened it. >> 911 already been called. >> Is that the guy in the black truck? >> He almost us, dude. >> I was like, what is this guy doing? >> Might have been 15 seconds earlier that he would have knocked me right. >> Oh my god. >> Oh my god.

Where [snorts] is this? Right here. >> Did it go all the way through? >> I don't know. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Would you like for me to do that? >> Yep. It might be easier for you. I'm just trying to stand behind him so he has something to lean up against. >> You okay? At this point, the civilian's assistance proved critical as the officer's condition remained serious until emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene. >> Lean back a little bit. >> Huh? Lean back. >> Lean back. >> Just don't go out on us. >> Is that good? You want to go up a little bit more? >> The guy that was in in the booster. >> He can give you all the info. >> Where you want it at? >> Put it right down here. >> Yeah. because I was shooting. >> Stay water.

And when he got behind him, the guy tells him to run and he's like, "No, I'm not running." So he gets out of the truck and the other guy steals his truck, I think. Yeah, >> but he knows everything. >> We come up and truck up. >> This is going to hurt on your leg. >> This guy's over here. >> See this back? >> Yep. >> How far back is he allowed to go? >> Can he go all the way down? >> He can lay all the way down. You pour it on your forehead. Just don't go out on side, brother. >> Right up in the corner. >> Right up in the corner. I won't put in your eyes or your husband or something like that. >> I don't know. >> 11:44. >> Okay. Is the rescue squad going up? >> You ready for You want a drink or no? >> Yeah. >> Here's the last >> I want them to know that they are going the wrong way. It's going to be at the airport. I need them at the airport. You want another? >> Oh, yes. You need more? Yeah. You pour across your forehead and go back. Okay. >> Next up, what began as a simple check on a vehicle reportedly involved in suspicious activity along a roadway soon turned into an imminent threat [music] to the responding officer. In the early morning hours of July 23rd, 2018, a female officer spotted a sleeping man inside a vehicle and attempted to make contact with the man, who initially provided a false name. He was later identified as Kenneth Martell, a fugitive with an active warrant for murder. Here's how the traffic stop unfolded. >> 511 is going to be occupied by one male. >> Hi. >> Good. How are you? >> What are you doing? Parts back here. Just taking a knife for a while. Okay. Where are you coming from? How long have you been here? >> I've been here long came from. >> Okay. Where are you headed? >> Uh out west. I start off the inter. >> Okay. How did you find this place? >> What? >> By accident. >> Well, that's pretty that's pretty weird. Do you happen to have a driver's license on you that I could see? You don't have a driver's license. Not on you. Do you have anything with your name on it? What about your vehicle registration? Anything with your name on it? something wrong. >> No, no, but [snorts] you're parked on private property right now. Um, it's suspicious that you're back here. This is doesn't normally happen. You were sleeping, so I needed to check on you, make sure that you are all right. Um, but I do need to identify who you are. You didn't do anything wrong. I just need to make sure that you're okay. >> Um, James is Duncan, but I don't I got changed. As you know, I've been on the road. >> Okay, not a big deal. I just have to make sure you know you don't have any warrants or anything, which I'm sure you don't. Once I confirm that, you'll be on your way. No big deal. >> Coming up, the officer ran the name James Duncan through the system, only to quickly realize the suspect had given her a fake identity.
