The incident was triggered after Nicholas Brutcher was ticketed and had his car towed after getting into an altercation with the police.
Brutcher behaved belligerently, cursed at officers, and made threatening remarks during the traffic stop.
After being picked up by his mom and returning home, Brutcher made a false 911 call about his brother acting aggressively.
When Sgt. Dustin DeMonte, Officer Alex Hamzy and Officer Alec Iurato arrived, Brutcher, who was wearing camouflage, ambushed them with an AR-15.
He fired a total of 83 rounds; 59 from the AR and 24 from a 9mm.
His blood alcohol level was reportedly at three times the legal limit to drive at .234.
Officer Iurato survived however the other two officers sadly passed.
