Belichick opened Friday's news conference saying he and the organization wanted to "express our appreciation and support for the Boston Police Department."

He talked about the challenges police officers face, and said: "I just want to let them know we're behind them, we appreciate them, we appreciate what they do for us and how they protect us and we're there for them."

He went on to praise the Cincinnati Bengals, this weekend's opponent.

Officers Richard Cintolo and Matt Morris were shot Wednesday night by a man who was later shot and killed. They remain hospitalized.

Boston police later tweeted out their appreciation of Belichick's comments.

Both officers continue to be listed in critical but stable condition.

Police say the domestic disturbance that Boston police were responding to when two veteran officers were shot and wounded may have started as an argument over the thermostat.

Police Commissioner William Evans says the officers were called Wednesday night to an apartment in the East Boston neighbourhood, where 33-year-old Kirk Figueroa was allegedly threatening his roommate with a knife.

Evans says the roommates may have been fighting over the thermostat, but there likely were other issues.

Police say when the two officers entered the home they were shot by Figueroa, who was armed with a tactical shotgun and wearing body armour. Figueroa was then shot and killed by other officers.

The injured officers have been identified as Richard Cintolo and Matt Morris. Both are in critical condition, but are recovering.
