Proceeds from a concert at Cadillac Ranch in Southington Friday will go to Bristol police in honor of the two police officers who were killed while responding to a 911 call earlier this month.

Cadillac Ranch posted that proceeds from the concert with Jordan Oaks, who lives in Suffield, on Oct. 28 will go to the Bristol Police in honor of Lt. Dustin DeMonte and Sgt. Alex Hamzy.

"It really, really hit close to home and knowing that Bristol, Connecticut's just right down the road, it was heartbreaking and I know a lot of friends that were friends with the officers, family members that were Bristol PD. I want to give as much as I can give for these families and so we had the idea, and being a country music artist, I said why don't we just have a concert and bring everyone together and celebrate their life," Oaks said.

Oaks will debut a new song during the concert.

Yves LeBel will be opening the night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. then Oaks will take the stage.

DeMonte, Hamzy and Officer Alex Iurato were shot while responding to a 911 call on Oct. 12.  

DeMonte and Hamzy died from their injuries.

Iurato was shot in the leg and fired the single shot that killed the suspect, officials said. He was released from the hospital the day after the attack.
