During the incident, the suspect, Nicholas Brutcher, shot and killed DeMonte and Hamzy.
Iurato was injured and fired the single shot that killed Brutcher.
In his report, Inspector General Robert Devlin determined Lurato's use of deadly force was justified to defend himself, others on the scene and his fellow officers from serious injury or death from Brutcher.
