(WTNH) — The Connecticut Office of the Inspector General Monday released a report saying Bridgeport police officers’ use of deadly force last year was “flawed” but not legally unjustified.

"Show me your hands," an officer commands before gunfire erupts. Freeman fired multiple shots, striking Rappa in the leg.

The State Inspector General finds "flawed" police tactics in a deadly officer-involved shooting involving three Bridgeport officers but says the case lacks evidence for prosecution. Bridgeport Officers Matthew Hoffman and Wilberto Rivera-Colon and Sergeant Christopher Robinson pursued Jonathan Mark Lewis Bell after he fled a drug-related traffic stop around 4:15 p.

The police tactics used during an officer-involved shooting in Ansonia last year were flawed, according to the Office of Inspector General.

The Office of the Inspector General has determined that the 2024 Bridgeport police shooting of a man in Ansonia who died was questionable but said there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution.
