The News has information that the insane gunman who shot three police officers in Connecticut, killing two of them, was a high school football teammate of the murderous professional Aaron Hernandez.
According to online records, 35-year-old Nicholas Brutcher was a student at Bristol Central High School at the same time as Hernandez, the disgraced former New England Patriots star who committed suicide while serving a life sentence for murder.
The future killers were teammates on the school’s varsity football team, the Rams, and had many friends in common.
According to the match statistics, the two of them played at least nine games together in 2004, beginning with their disastrous season opener on September 17 that year, when New Britain defeated them 62-0.
Brutcher was already a senior who stood 6-foot-2 and weighed 240 pounds and played defensive tackle because of his size.It would appear that he played his final game for the Rams on November 25, when they defeated Bristol Eastern, a team in the area, 20-0.Even though Hernandez was only a junior, he was already a standout on the varsity team and demonstrated the talents as a tight end that would lead him to the NFL.A Connecticut high school record shows that year that he caught 67 passes for 1,807 yards.
His success was due to his partnership with quarterback Dennis SanSoucie, who would later confess to having a secret sexual relationship with the receiving tight end while they were in middle school and high school.SanSoucie, who now lives in Las Vegas, was still Brutcher’s Facebook friend before he was shot dead after his bloodbath on Wednesday.Friday, he was not immediately available for comment.The killer of police officers was also friends with Jonathan Hernandez, Hernandez’s brother, who later wrote a memoir about their difficult childhood just a few miles away from where Brutcher lured police officers to their deaths.
Hernandez and Brutcher both committed horrific murders nearly two decades after their on-field partnership.
Sgt. Brutcher was slain.On October 12, Officer Alec Iurato, 26, was criticially injured by Dustin Demonte, 35, Officer Alex Hamzy, 34, and
Police shot and killed Brutcher on the spot, who frequently posed with guns online, even at a wedding.The murders committed by Brutcher remain unsolved.
In the meantime, Hernandez hanged himself in 2017 at the Massachusetts prison where he was serving life without the possibility of parole for the June 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd, a former friend. Days before his death at the age of 27, Hernandez had been cleared of the 2012 drive-by shooting double homicide.He had been smoking a lot of K2, a type of synthetic marijuana, just before he died, according to his autopsy.
Lloyd was a semi-pro football player who was dating Hernandez’s fiancée’s sister.Books and documentaries have examined the player’s double life since his death, which led to his murder shortly after signing a $40 million Patriots contract extension.
In addition to the brain scan that revealed severe brain injuries consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), those close to him pointed to his secret love life with men.
According to his brother’s memoir and witnesses from the time, that came from playing football, when Hernandez was already suffering serious injuries for the Rams, the team he played on with Brutcher.
“I witnessed him being struck and falling.And he didn’t get back up,” registered nurse Lorrie Belmonte, of Bristol, told the Boston Globe previously.
But eventually, she said, “Aaron would always get back up,” referring to the time he was taken away by ambulance.
At the time, it wasn’t clear if Brutcher would continue to play after 2004.
However, by Wednesday, he had transformed into the “rowdy one” in his Bristol-based family, a divorced father of two who drank beer.
