The New Jersey Attorney General's Office has made public a harrowing video showcasing the March shootout between Hamilton Township police and gunman Vincent Correa, revealing stark details of the incident. The intense exchange of gunfire occurred after officers responded to a domestic dispute call late in the evening on March 8. Officer Derek Fiabane and Officer Paul Piromalli arrived at a residence on Orchard Avenue at approximately 10:07 p.m., where they were met with gunfire from Correa, armed with a rifle, as reported by NBC Philadelphia.

Bodycam footage captured by the officers shows a tense conversation with a woman outside the home before the shooting began, the woman reportedly told the officers that someone inside was acting hostile and armed, and then the situation rapidly escalated when Correa opened fire on the officers, as detailed by FOX 29. The shootout resulted in both Officer Fiabane and the assailant Correa sustaining gunshot wounds, with the officer being hospitalized with non-fatal injuries and released following medical treatment.

Further amplifying the gravity of the situation, 6ABC confirmed that Correa was pronounced dead at the scene; alongside his body, police recovered a rifle and a handgun, these items now forming part of an ongoing investigation into the details and motivations behind the violent altercation. While the reasons for Correa's actions that night remain under scrutiny, the footage offers a grim reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers can face even in routine call-outs to community disturbances.

As the investigation continues, the release of this footage comes amid larger national conversations about police use of force and the types of risks faced by officers in the field, raising questions regarding the protocols and training for such high-stakes situations as well as the intersection of gun violence and law enforcement dynamics.
