The scene was a residential area about a half mile from ESPN.
The officers were transported to Bristol Health, where Channel 3 saw a heavy police presence. A procession took the fallen officers to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Farmington later Thursday morning.
An eyewitness told Channel 3 that the frequency of the gunfire was frightening.
“We just, like, hearing the gunshots like ‘pop pop pop pop pop pop’ up and stop, and then stop for maybe 30 seconds and then another round ‘pop pop pop pop pop’ and then it just stopped. And then [we] started hearing sirens and everything else,” said Ted Krawiec, an eyewitness.
Lifestar also confirmed to Channel 3 that it responded to the area Wednesday night.
