A joint funeral on Friday for two Connecticut police officers shot to death in an apparent ambush was expected to draw scores of law enforcement officials from around the country.
The service for Bristol officers Dustin DeMonte and Alex Hamzy was set to be held at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field — the University of Connecticut's 40,000-seat football stadium in East Hartford. Major highway closures were announced for the processions of the two officers from funeral homes to the stadium.
