Connecticut state police said Thursday that the 911 call about a dispute between two siblingsl appears to have been 'a deliberate act to lure law enforcement to the scene' in Bristol.
Members of the Connecticut State Police Major Crime unit on scene where two police officers killed, Thursday in Bristol, Conn. Two police officers were fatally shot and a third wounded while responding to a domestic violence call, authorities said Thursday, amid an exceptionally violent week for officers across the country.
Bristol Police Sgt. Dustin Demonte and Officer Alex Hamzy were killed, and Officer Alec Iurato was wounded, during a week when at least 10 officers have been shot around the country. Authorities said they were still working to answer many questions that remained about the confrontation. No video of it has emerged publicly."I heard a whole war going on behind me," said Danny Rodriguez, who said he was outside his home across the street when the gunfire rang out. It was so intense that he could smell gunpowder in the air, he said.
Schalitda Strong lives diagonally across the street from the shooting but ducked into her room"because it sounded so close," she said. Strong said she called 911, but police were already on their way. Demonte, 35, was a 10-year veteran officer and co-recipient of his department's 2019 Officer of the Year award.
Scores of officers lined a street and followed a vehicle carrying Hamzy's body from the shooting scene late Thursday morning. Demonte died at a hospital.
