Melissa in the Morning: Active Shooting Facility

A new, state-of-the-art active shooter training facility is coming to Bristol. It would be the first of its kind in New England. And it’s no coincidence that the location is in Bristol. In 2022, we lost two of our own, Lt. Dustin Demonte and Sgt. Alex Hamzy in an ambush attack. A third officer on scene, Alec Iurato, who was injured during the incident, took out the shooter with a single shot. He joined us in studio with Bristol Fire Chief Richard Hart, to talk about the facility idea born after that tragedy and its potential impact on our state.
