Thousands of mourners packed into the Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in Connecticut Friday to honor slain police officers Dustin DeMonte and Alex Hamzy.
Sergeant Dustin DeMonte has been promoted to Lieutenant and Officer Alex Hamzy has been promoted to Sergeant, according to Bristol Mayor Jeffrey Caggiano.
The two Bristol police officers killed in a shooting last week have been posthumously promoted, according to Bristol Mayor Jeffrey Caggiano.
Sgt. Dustin DeMonte has been promoted to Lieutenant and Off.
There are still questions that remain unanswered by police and officials as to what happened on Oct. 13, including which gun was used in the shooting, what led up to the shooting, what was said on the 911 call.
Bristol planned to turn the town blue on Sunday night in a show of solidarity for Bristol Police Department officers who were returning to patrol duty for the first time since two officers were killed and another seriously wounded in a shooting late Wednesday that made national headlines.
