A Paterson police officer who fatally shot a knife-wielding city man this year was involved in another explosive situation just two months before when a fellow officer wounded a gun-toting man.

In Wayne, a police report still lists the wrong person shot by an officer during a hostage standoff three years ago — almost two years after authorities acknowledged the error.

And a Jersey City officer, later charged with driving while intoxicated, fired a bullet through his vehicle’s windshield and another shot down a city street when someone knocked on the window of his vehicle to see if he was OK.

That information comes from a trove of documents recently released to Gannett New Jersey in the aftermath of a State Supreme Court ruling over the summer determining that some police shooting reports should be made public, ending a lawsuit brought by North Jersey Media Group.

The case stemmed from the 2014 fatal shooting of Kashad Ashford, who was killed by police after a harrowing high-speed chase that ended in Rutherford when he tried to escape by rocking his surrounded vehicle back and forth as plumes of smoke from burning tires filled the air.

New Jersey officials’ fought in court for three years to withhold police dash camera video footage along with the names of four officers — from Rutherford, Lyndhurst and the state police — who fired shots that night.

A 2015 appellate court ruling in the state's favor reinforced a trend to withhold such records and restricted access to other records that had been considered public. After the state Supreme Court ruling overturned that decision in July, state law enforcement officials released the videos and the police officers' names in the Rutherford case under a court order.

Lyndhurst, responding to a records request, recently released reports from another incident, revealing for the first time the identities of two officers who fired service weapons in the May 29, 2015, fatal shooting of Kevin K. Allen at the township library — William Kapp and Richard Holicki.

Both were cleared by a grand jury last year. Police have said Allen lunged at the officers while brandishing a utility knife.

Reports show it was Holicki who spotted Allen — police said he was a suspect in the theft of a PlayStation 4 — and followed him into the library, getting into an altercation before Kapp arrived. Both officers initially used pepper spray, according to records.

The records show two women, one of them apparently a student, were in a room near where the shooting took place on the library's third floor. They also show a Lyndhurst police officer, Thomas McSweeney, applied pressure on Allen's wounds "in an attempt to slow the bleeding" before emergency medical workers arrived.

Lyndhurst Police Chief James O’Connor said last week that he would abide by the court’s decision but that he believes names of officers involved in shootings should be “held back for a while,” at least until criminal investigations are completed. He cited concerns about retaliation and for the mental health of officers traumatized by shootings.

The state made similar arguments when it declined to release the names of officers and videos, saying they were exempt from being made public because they were part of a criminal investigation.

But the Supreme Court said withholding videos could fuel the perception that information was being concealed. The justices also noted that police could ask judges to withhold the names of officers under some circumstances.

Last week, in response to a records request, the state Attorney General's Office released hundreds of use of deadly force notifications it has received from law enforcement agencies going back to 2010.

Some reports include descriptions of incidents. A review of those records, along with additional documents provided by other law enforcement agencies, reveals new details about some police shootings:

► In Paterson, Frank Toledo was identified as the officer involved in the March 2 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Ramon Andrade at the corner of Main Street and Levine Street.

A police report says Andrade "lunged at him knife in hand" before Toldeo fired two rounds. Andrade, who died two weeks later, was wounded in the jaw and the chest. His family has said he has emotional problems but that they did not believe he was violent. Authorities have said they recovered a knife at the scene.

According to another report about a non-fatal shooting on Dec. 30, 2016, Toledo was one of three officers responding to a domestic dispute when another officer, Jonathan Bustios, shot a 38-year-old man, Dereen Wofford, who allegedly pointed a firearm at them. Bustios was cleared this year by a grand jury.

Paterson police officials declined to comment on any of the released documents.

► Paterson use of force reports also confirmed the identities of two other police officers involved in the fatal shooting of 36-year-old Ismael Miranda on June 24, 2016.

Thomas Giaquinto and Ryan Duffy previously had been identified by The Record as the officers involved but authorities had withheld their identities. Police had reported that Miranda was shooting at a vehicle when officers first approached him. Authorities later said Miranda raised his arm with the gun in his hand when the officers fired.

The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office — which handled the case to avoid a conflict of interest in Passaic County, where Duffy's father is a freeholder — determined in June that the shooting was justified.

► William Kallert, an off-duty Jersey City police officer, was stopped at a traffic light on July 4, 2013, as it turned from red to green several times before someone approached his vehicle and noticed his head was down. What happened next was detailed in a report released by the state last week.

The Jersey Journal reported at the time that Kallert was charged with driving while intoxicated after firing his service weapon while inside a police vehicle he was not authorized to be using while off duty.

According to the newly-released report, Kallert fired his weapon two times, frightening the person who had knocked on his window to determine whether he needed help.

The officer began to yell, according to the report, "and then pulled out his firearm" and discharged it "through the windshield." The witness ran and saw "Kallert exit his vehicle and discharge his weapon again in the opposite direction of the witness."

Authorities said at the time that they were investigating the matter to determine whether additional criminal charges would be filed. Last week, Jersey City police referred questions to the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, which did not immediately provide information about the case. Kallert could not be reached for comment.

Kallert, now retired, is collecting a $6,345.22 monthly pension, according to state records.

► More than three years ago, Wayne police announced that an officer shot and wounded Francisco Pacheco to end a dangerous standoff. The man who had been shot, they said, had been holding his mother hostage at knife point. Police said at the time that they were proud that she had been rescued safely.

Early last year, medical reports made public during Pacheco's trial showed a police sniper, Alexander DeLuccia, had actually shot the mother, Victoria Pacheco, in the shoulder during the May 23, 2014 incident.

Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia Valdes said in a news release after that information became public that authorities didn't correct the initial report because it could "potentially impact the investigation."

Even now, long after the case was closed, a use of force report released by the Prosecutor's Office incorrectly indicates the officer fired one round that hit Francisco Pacheco.

It was not clear last week what steps authorities have made, if any, to correct the records. The Prosecutor's Office declined to comment on the matter last week and the Wayne police did not respond to requests for comment.

Francisco Pacheco, who had a long history of mental illness, was charged with aggravated assault and other offenses. He was found not guilty last year by reason of insanity.

A grand jury found the shooting was justified. Pacheco's family has said they called 911 that night seeking medical help and would have preferred police showing up with psychiatric experts instead of snipers and a SWAT team.
