* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Manchester, Connecticut — On Sunday, July 16, 2023, at approximately 6:39 p.m., Manchester Police Officer Haylee Ouellette responded to 243-A North Main Street on a report of a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, Officer Ouellette entered the residence and was confronted by 58-year-old Joseph Diloreto. Diloreto, who was armed with a knife, immediately became belligerent with Officer Ouellette. As he advanced toward Officer Ouellette, she put out her hand to stop him and he slapped her hand away. Diloreto yelled “Shoot me.” In an effort to neutralize Diloreto, Officer Ouellette deployed her taser, but it was unsuccessful. Diloreto, still holding the knife, then advanced on Officer Ouellette. She retreated to an adjacent courtyard repeatedly commanding Diloreto to drop the knife. Diloreto disregarded these commands and continued to advance on Officer Ouellette shouting “Hit me, hit me, hit me.” Ultimately, Officer Ouellette discharged her handgun multiple times striking Diloreto in the upper left thigh. He fell to the ground and Officer Ouellette was able to secure the knife and handcuff him. Manchester Fire EMS treated Diloreto on scene and he was transported to Hartford Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Diloreto was released from Hartford Hospital on Tuesday. He was charged with Threatening in the Second Degree, Criminal Attempt to Commit Assault in the First Degree, and Assault of Public Safety Personnel. He is being held at the Manchester Police Department on a $250,000 court-set bond and will be arraigned in Manchester Superior Court on Wednesday if he does not post bond. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - Lisa Hunt - Christopher Payne - 'Bad Drivers Of The NorCal Area' - Juan Villagomez - Leonardo Buzzolan - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Jacopo Di Taddeo - Rich Biggs - 'Ham_Radio' - 'D.
