Bristol, Conn./WTIC Radio - Bristol will be home to an active shooter training facility.
It's a first in the region for first responders.
The facility is being funded partially by a $3.15 million federal grant.
The project was born in part out of the fatal ambush shootings of two Bristol police officers in October of 2022.
A third officer who was seriously wounded took down the gunman.
Total cost of the training center will be around $8 million.
The initial fuding will go toward site location and design of the facility.
