## Overview

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (WTNH) — The Connecticut Office of the Inspector General released body camera footage Tuesday of an officer-involved shooting in Middletown. Detective Karli Travis responded to the 100 block of Liberty Street around 6:30 a.m. Saturday for the report of a man yelling and smashing glass, police said. The suspect, 52-year-old Winston Tate, allegedly charged at Travis with a hammer, and a “violent struggle ensued.” “Detective Travis fired multiple rounds towards Tate as she was being attacked and knocked to the ground,” Middletown police Chief Erik Costa said. “While fighting for her life on the ground, Tate continued to strike her with a hammer, as seen in the video.” During the attack, authorities said Travis fired her weapon numerous times, wounding Tate. Her body-worn camera fell from her uniform onto the ground. After he was wounded, police said Tate retreated into his home on Liberty Street, where he was taken into custody. Travis, who has been with the department since 2016, was treated for injuries and released from the hospital. Middletown police said she is resting comfortably at home. “There’s no question that Detective Travis displayed an extreme act of heroism that saved her own life, other Middletown police officers, and the citizens of this city,” Costa said. Tate was treated for gunshot wounds at the hospital and was released late Monday night. He was charged with first-degree criminal attempt to commit assault, second-degree assault, assault on public safety personnel, and interfering with police. “When they call me out, I was getting really nervous when they call me out,” Tate said as he faced a judge Tuesday. About 30 members of the Middletown Police Department attended Tate’s court appearance as the judge considered the seriousness of the attack and his lengthy criminal history. “Winston Tate is known to this agency,” Costa said. “He is a convicted felon that dates back to 1995. In the past five years, he’s been charged with the crimes of assault on public safety and healthcare workers, breach of peace, interfering, disorderly conduct, carrying a dangerous weapon, and unlawful restraint. He was currently on probation for robbery.” Ultimately, the judge set Tate’s bond at $850,000. He is due back in court on Oct. 3. The Connecticut Office of the Inspector General is investigating with the Connecticut State Police, Eastern District Major Crime Squad, and the Middlesex County State’s Attorney.

### Russian Interview

**Capt. █████████:** It always sucks ass to get Initial Retrieval duty. You have no idea what the damn thing is capable of besides what jacked up information the field press can scrape up, and you're lucky if they even tell you the whole story. They told us to "bag and tag." Didn't tell us jackshit about it being black.

**Dr. ███:** Could you describe the mission, please?

**Capt. █████████:** Yeah, sorry. We had two choppers, one with my team and one on backup with Zulu 9-B and Dr. ██████. We spotted the target about two clicks north of our patrol path. I'm guessing he wasn't facing our direction, else he would have taken us out then and there.

**Dr. ███:** Your report says BHBSG showed signs of being under the influence? It was -██.

**Capt. █████████:** Actually, it was -██. And yes, it was completely wasted and didn't so much as shiver. Anyway, we landed, approached the target, and Corporal ██ got ready to bag it. That's when Dr. ██████ called. I turned to answer it, and that's what saved me. The target must have turned and my whole squad saw it.

**Dr. ███:** That's when BHBSG entered an agitated emotional state?

**Capt. █████████:** Yep. [Interviewed now pauses for a second before continuing] Sorry. Got the willies for a second.

**Dr. ███:** That's all right.

**Capt. █████████:** Yeah. Well, I never saw its face. My squad did, and they paid for it up the ass.

**Dr. ███:** Could you describe it a little more, please?

**Capt. █████████:** [Pauses] Yeah, yeah. It started screaming at us, and moaning. Not animal roaring though, sounded exactly like a person. Really fucking creepy. [Pauses again] We started firing when it picked up Corporal ██ and ripped off his leg. God, he was screaming for our help… fuckin 'A… anyway, we were blowing chunks out of the target, round after round. Didn't do jackshit. I almost lost it when it started hammering him.

**Dr. ███:** That's when you ordered the use of an [Papers are heard moving] AT-4 HEDT launcher?

**Capt. █████████:** An anti-tank gun. Started carrying it ever since the Ukranians called in ██. I've seen those tear through tanks like tissue paper. Did the same thing to the target.

**Dr. ███:** There was significant damage to BHBSG?

**Capt. █████████:** It didn't even fucking flinch. It kept tearing apart my squad, but with half of its torso gone. [He draws a large half-circle across his torso]

**Dr. ███:** But it was taking damage?

**Capt. █████████:** If it was, it wasn't showing it. It must have lost all its organs, all its blood, but it didn't acknowledge any of it. Its bone structure wasn't hurt at all, though. It kept tearing my squad apart.

**Dr. ███:** So no actual structural damage. How many rounds would you say were fired at BHBSG?

**Capt. █████████:** At the least? A thousand. Our door gunner kept his GAU-19 on it for at least twenty seconds. Twenty fucking seconds. That's six hundred .50 caliber rounds pumped into the thing. Might as well been spitting at it.

**Dr. ███:** This is when paramedics arrived?

**Capt. █████████:** Yeah, and my squad was gone. The doctor managed to get the bag over its head, and it just sat down. We got it into the chopper and got it here. I don't know how I never saw its face. Maybe God or Buddha or whoever thought I should live. The jackass.

**Dr. ███:** We have obtained a picture of BHBSG's face. Would you like to view it?

**Capt. █████████:** [Pauses] You know, after hearing that thing's screams, and the screams of my men, I don't think I want to put a face to what I heard. No. Just… no.

**Dr. ███:** All right, I believe we are done here. Thank you, Captain.

[Chairs are heard moving, and footsteps leave the room. Captain (Ret.) █████████ is confirmed to have left Interview Room 22.]

**Dr. ███:** Let this be on record that I am formally requesting BHBSG be terminated as soon as possible.
