Connecticut State Police did not provide details of the shooting
in a series of Twitter posts, only to say that it would hold a
press conference later on Thursday about the incident.
"2 officers were fatally shot and 1 is with serious injuries. We
ask your thoughts and prayers be with the families, the officer
and all those impacted," the agency wrote on Twitter. Its
initial post cited "an officer involved shooting" in the suburb
about 20 miles southwest of Hartford, the state capital.
"We are still working diligently to gather accurate information
from our investigators and all that are involved," it added.
Local CBS television affiliate WFSB reported a heavy police
presence at Bristol Health hospital following the shooting,
which it said occurred about a half-mile from sports television
network ESPN's headquarters. It added that it was not clear
which police department the officers belonged to.
