NBC Universal, Inc.

Two Bristol police officers were posthumously promoted after being killed in an ambush-style attack last Wednesday.

The Bristol Police Department said Dustin DeMonte has been promoted to lieutenant and Alex Hamzy was posthumously promoted to sergeant, respectively.

It comes a week after the two died in a senseless tragedy that's devastated the community.

Calling hours for Hamzy will be from noon to 8 p.m. at the Lyceum Banquet Hall in Terryville. Connecticut State Police said part of Route 6 will be shut down.
