2 police officers killed, 1 seriously hurt in Bristol, Conn. shooting

BRISTOL, Conn. -- Connecticut State Police say two officers were killed and one was seriously hurt in a shooting overnight in Bristol. 

"We ask your thoughts and prayers be with the families, the officer and all those impacted," the department tweeted.

 The scene is a residential area, about a mile and a half from the ESPN headquarters. 

Crews from our sister station say they saw a SWAT team surrounding a home late Wednesday night with guns drawn. It's unclear how the house is connected to the shooting, or if anyone other than the officers was shot. 

Gov. Ned Lamont said the officers were responding to a domestic violence call. He ordered flags to be flown at half staff in their honor. 

"The loss of two officers from the Bristol Police Department who were killed in the line of duty while responding to an emergency call of domestic violence is a senseless tragedy, and my prayers are with their families, loved ones, and fellow officers," he said in a statement. "I also ask the residents of Connecticut to keep in their prayers a third officer who was shot while responding to this emergency and is currently in the hospital with serious injuries. This is a devastating reminder of the dangers that police officers face every day to protect our families and neighbors from all kinds of situations. These officers are heroes and will always be remembered for the honorable service they provided to their town and their state. This continues to be an active situation, and I've directed DESPP Commissioner James Rovella and the Connecticut State Police to support the Bristol Police Department and greater community in every way they can."
