Enjoy A Meal In Naugatuck, Help Fallen Bristol Officers' Families

NAUGATUCK, CT — Two local restaurants are hosting special fundraisers Thursday night to help the families of the Bristol police officers killed in a brutal shooting earlier this month.

Both restaurants will donate 20 percent of proceeds for the families of the two fallen police officers and the policeman who was wounded.

Naugatuck eateries involved are:

• 66 Church at 66 Church St., Naugatuck, from noon to 10 p.m.

Bristol police Sgt. Dustin DeMonte, 35, and Officer Alex Hamzy, 34, were both killed in the Oct. 12 ambush, as was the suspect.

He was rushed to the hospital that night and was released after surgery the following morning.

According to the Bristol Police Department, other fundraisers will take place at two other area restaurants on Thursday:
