Two police officers were killed and another was seriously wounded while responding to a domestic violence call in Bristol, Conn., the authorities said early Thursday. | |
Gov. Ned Lamont of Connecticut identified the two dead officers as members of the Bristol Police Department. Ordering flags in the state lowered to half-staff, he called the shooting a “devastating” reminder of the dangers that police officers face to protect. | |
The shooting occurred late Wednesday in a residential neighborhood in the Redstone Hill Road area of Bristol, a town in central Connecticut about 80 miles northeast of New York City, the television station WFSB reported. | The shooting occurred late Wednesday in a residential neighborhood in the Redstone Hill Road area of Bristol, a town in central Connecticut about 80 miles northeast of New York City, the television station WFSB reported. |

The Connecticut State Police planned a news conference for Thursday morning, but provided few other details about the shooting. | |
“We are still working diligently to gather accurate information from our investigators and all that are involved,” the state police said. | |
Around 7 a.m., a motorcade of police vehicles, with emergency lights flashing, silently accompanied the two killed officers from Bristol Hospital to the medical examiner’s office in Farmington on Thursday morning. | |
