“I wish everything wasn’t real, but it is I guess and it hasn’t sunk in yet and I don’t know if it will sink in,” said Brandon Wojnowski.

Seventeen-year-old Shawnna Wojnowski’s brothers said they woke up to the tragic news Monday morning and spent the day trying to make sense of their loss. They just learned their sister was killed in a car crash in Brooklyn.

“I didn’t believe it. I said wait there’s no way, that’s not true,” said Shawna’s brother Dakota Cicarelli. “I never got the chance to tell her how much I love her and how much I care for her.”

Emergency crews responded to North Society Road north of Creasey Road in Brooklyn just after midnight Monday.

“When I came down the road I seen all the cop cars and fire trucks and the first thing that comes in my head is this isn’t happening,” Brandon recalled. “I saw all their lights were shined into the woods.”

Brandon said he rushed to the scene when he learned his little sister had died.

“What I did see, the images I will never be able to get out of my head,” he added.

Investigators said the pick-up truck Shawnna was in lost control while negotiating a curve, struck a guard rail, and continued down a ditch before it caught fire.

“To know that that truck caught on fire and know that my little sister was trapped or unconscious in there and she burnt,” said Brandon.

Shawnna’s friend, a fellow student at Ellis Technical High School in Danielson, also died. A third girl was rushed to the hospital in grave condition.

Although the pickup truck was registered to a relative of the teen who survived, investigators said they were unsure which girl was behind the wheel.

“We are just all in shock right now,” said Cicarelli.

He drove his sister to school every day her sophomore year.

“If I needed a pick me up she was there. When I needed someone to talk to she was there,” Cicarelli recalled.

He said growing up with four brothers, she was drawn to mechanics and planned to work on big rigs one day.

“She knew the ins and outs of any vehicle,” he said.

Shawnna’s brothers said they wish they could trade places with her.

“I love her. I wish I could see her one last time and tell her I love her,” Brandon said.

Police are trying to figure out where the girls were coming from and where they were headed.

State law prohibits drivers under 18 from being out on the road between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Teens in their first year of having a license are also barred from having other minors in their car. State police said that’s one part of an investigation that could take more than a month to complete.

One of the owners of OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma has died.

Beverly Sackler died Monday, according to a filing made by her lawyers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

She was the widow of Raymond Sackler, one of the brothers who bought the drug company Purdue Frederick in 1952. The company later became Purdue Pharma. Beverly Sackler, who lived in Connecticut, was on its board for decades.

No details were in the court filing. Phone calls seeking comment were made to a lawyer and a family spokesman.

Nearly 2,700 lawsuits blame the company for helping spark the opioid crisis. Hundreds also blame family members, including Beverly Sackler. Purdue has proposed to settle them in a deal that would require the family to give up company ownership and pay at least $3 billion.

U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland will tell Congress on Thursday that he thought Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was “great” and that he has nothing negative to say about her performance as ambassador to Ukraine, despite her removal from the job by President Donald Trump.

A person with knowledge of Sondland’s testimony tells NBC News that Yovanovitch was an able and professional diplomat, and that he had no issues with her whatsoever. The person spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

Yovanovitch told House impeachment investigators last week that Trump personally pressured the State Department to have her removed from her position. Sondland is expected to testify under subpoena on Thursday as part of the impeachment inquiry.

Sondland will also testify that after he attended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s inauguration in May, he met with Trump, Energy Secretary Rick Perry and former U.S. special envoy Kurt Volker in the Oval Office. In that meeting, Sondland will say, Trump told them that any in-person meeting between Trump and Zelenskiy would have to be approved by Rudy Giuliani.

Former national security adviser John Bolton was so disturbed by the efforts to get the Ukrainians to investigate President Donald Trump’s political opponents that he called it a “drug deal,” former White House official Fiona Hill reportedly told Congress on Monday.

Hill, a former White House advisor on Russia, testified that Bolton told her he wanted no part in the effort that involved acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, a person in the room for Hill’s testimony told NBC News. Bolton also was said to have referred to Rudy Giuliani as a "hand grenade" that would "blow everybody up," according to the New York Times, which first reported details of Hill's testimony Monday.

Hill testified that Bolton, who was fired by Trump in September, told her to report the situation to the top lawyer at the National Security Council, John Eisenberg, according to the person in the room for Monday’s closed-door hearing.

Giuliani responded to the reported comments early Tuesday. "I always liked and respected John," he said. "I’m very disappointed that his bitterness drives him to attack a friend falsely and in a very personal way. It’s really ironic that John Bolton is calling anyone else a hand grenade. When John is described by many as an atomic bomb."

Grief counselors will be at Ellis Technical High School in Danielson on Tuesday for students and staff grieving the loss of two students who were killed in a crash in Brooklyn early Monday morning.

Students and community members already built a memorial to honor 17-year-old Brenna Ann Larson and 17-year-old Shawnna Wojnowski.

Larson and Wojnowski were in an F-150 pick-up truck when it went off the road, hit a guard rail, went down a ditch and burst into flames on North Society Road in Brooklyn around 12:15 a.m.

Both girls were killed in the crash.

Wojnowski’s brothers said investigators believe she was either trapped inside the pick-up or knocked unconscious.

“I wish everything wasn’t real, but it is I guess, and it hasn’t sunk in yet and I don’t know if it will sink in,” Brandon Wojnowski said.

The brothers are stunned not only that their little sister is gone, but also by how she died.

“I never got the chance to tell her how much I love her and how much I care for her,” Wojnowski’s brother, Dakota Cicarelli, said.

A third 17-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital in grave condition.

Investigators are still trying to determine who was driving and where the girls were coming from and going to.

According to Connecticut State Law, drivers under the age of 18 are not allowed behind the wheel between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

The state's fire marshal and accident reconstruction team were called to the scene. Police said the investigation could take more than a month.

An 81-year-old Farmington woman has been reported missing and a Silver Alert has been issued for her.

Alice Kanderian has been missing since Monday, according to the Silver Alert.

Anyone with information is asked to call Farmington police at 860-675-2400.

Next week marks five months since Jennifer Dulos disappeared after dropping her five kids off at school and on Tuesday the legal battle between her mother and estranged husband continues.

Jennifer's mother, Gloria Farber, is suing Jennifer's husband, Fotis Dulos, in civil court to get back millions of dollars she claims her late husband lent Fotis for his business and home mortgage.

A hearing on the case is set for Tuesday.

She also has a motion to find out what role Fotis' girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, had in Fotis' company, the Fore Group.

This week, a spokesperson for the family spoke out and called claims that Jennifer got medical treatment after she vanished "absurd."

Fotis' attorney asked a judge to release her medical records last week. He claimed a medical bill he got in July could be evidence that she's still alive.

But Jennifer's family spokesperson said the bill was an automatic charge and has nothing to do with service rendered.

Fotis and Troconis are both charged in connection with Jennifer's disappearance.

Interstate 84 West is congested between exits 59 and 56 in East Hartford after what police are calling a minor crash. 

The crash happened between exits 56 and 55 and the two right lanes are closed. 

Cameras on the highway show several people out of their vehicles.

A 12-year-old student in Worcester, Massachusetts, has been suspended for hugging a gym teacher.

The foster mother of the Forest Grove Middle School student is asking for change after the boy was suspended for 10 days and given a record of physical assault of a teacher.

"I was told he had put his hands on a teacher," said Julie Orozco. "I was shocked and asked for details on what happened, and then I was told that he hugged his gym teacher."

"At the end of the day, I just hugged her, nothing really happened," the seventh-grader said.

NBC10 Boston is not identifying the 12-year-old boy, but Orozco says he fully admits he was fooling around with friends in gym class when the teacher told him to sit out.

"And then I went over just like, and I gave her a hug and said, 'Please, I don't want to sit out' because I like the game," he said.

After sitting out for five minutes, the teacher allowed him to play.

Orozco says it wasn't until the next period that he was called to the principal's office.

"I don't expect the teacher to have to be OK with being touched or being hugged, but I do expect as an educator that she educate what the boundaries are in her classroom," Orozco said.

She says after several phone calls, emails and an eventual hearing, she got his school record reduced to "disruption of school" and his suspension reduced to four days. But she says there's nothing in the school handbook about hugs and she doesn't want this incident to be held against him in the future.

"If you can admit to me that you didn't have a mechanism or a process, or any way of informing students what your expectations were, but then in the same breath you say to me, 'He's 12, he should know hugs are not OK,' it's confounding," Orozco said.

Reached by phone, the school district's safety director said the district has no comment on the matter.

Orozco has been invited by the school committee to speak at their meeting Thursday about what her son is going through.

An assistant animal control officer in Hamden saved the lives of seven baby turkeys after their mother was killed in July.

Police said Cindy Stilson-Shook, a wildlife rehabilitator in Warren, brought the rescue to their attention after Assistant Animal Control Officer Mitch Gibbs went above and beyond the call of duty.

Police said Gibbs responded to a home on Hartford Turnpike on July 25 in response to a call from a resident who found three turkey poults in the yard after a predator had killed their mother.

According to the message sent to police, Gibbs played the sounds of a mother turkey in an attempt to find any surviving poults and four more responded to it.

Gibbs then tried to find a wildlife rehabilitator, but was not able to so he brought the seven poults to his home, where he cared for them.

A day later, Gibbs drove more than 100 miles, round trip, on his own time, to Stilson-Shook’s home in Warren.

“Your officer Mitch drove some turkey poults to me after hours, when we could not organize transport thru the Connecticut Wildlife Transport page. It was imperative to these poults that they get to a rehabber,” Stilson-Shook wrote a letter commending Gibbs for his actions.” “Mitch, on his own time, drove them to me. I have raised a happy flock of wild turkeys that have been returned to the wild thanks to Mitch.”

Southington police have arrested three men in connection to a fight at a restaurant in the Plantsville section of town last weekend.

Officers were called to Tavern 42 on West Main Street on Saturday after getting a report of a large fight inside the restaurant.

Investigators said a large group was sitting at a table in the restaurant when 36-year-old Hiran Sepulveda, of Berlin, and another man that has not been identified began arguing. The man who has not been identified then punched Sepulveda in the face.

After that, authorities said multiple people including 36-year-old Raul Maldonado, of Meriden, began pushing each other.

Surveillance video inside the restaurant shows the man who punched Sepulveda in the face flee out the back door of the restaurant with a woman during the chaos, according to police.

Officers said after the initial incident, Maldonado took a plate from a table and swung it at 32-year-old Marcus Jones' head. Jones, of Hartford, then hit Maldonado in the face multiple times and continued to go after him despite people trying to separate them.

No serious injuries were reported.

Maldonado and Jones are each facing a breach of peace charge. They were each released on a $2,500 bond.

Sepulveda is facing charges including breach of peace and interfering with an officer. Officers said as police arrived, Sepulveda pushed an officer. He was released on a $5,000 bond.

All three men are scheduled to appear in court on October 28.

A foster father who is accused of driving under the influence during a crash in Meriden last month that critically injured his 17-year-old foster son is facing more charges after the teen died.

James Bailey, 65, has been charged with manslaughter in the second degree with a motor vehicle, manslaughter in the second degree and operation of a motor vehicle under the influence in connection with the crash on Monday, Sept. 30 that killed 17-year-old Alex Medina.

Police said Bailey was driving and Medina was a passenger in the back seat of a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder that crashed into a utility pole on North Wall Street, near Baldwin Pond just after 11 a.m. that Monday morning and Medina was thrown from the vehicle and hit his head on a tree.

He wasn’t wearing a seatbelt when the crash happened, police said.

Medina was airlifted to the hospital, where he was in died three days later. He was a student at Maloney High School.

Another family member who was visiting from another country was in the front seat of the SUV and was transported to Midstate Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

Police said Bailey, failed a field sobriety test at the scene and had a blood alcohol level of one and a half times the legal limit of .08. He was not injured in the crash.

The head of California's Public Utilities Commission on Monday ordered PG&E to revamp its power shutdown program to avoid the kind of chaos and breakdowns that were evident in last week’s planned blackouts.

The power shutdown, meant to reduce fire risk, left an estimated 2 million Californians in the dark for days.

The PUC says it’s clear the utility was not up to the challenge.

“Throughout the event, PG&E had multiple issues with communication, coordination and event and resource management,” Commission President Marybel Batjer told PG&E’s CEO William Johnson by letter on Monday. “Failures in execution, combined with the magnitude” of the event, “created an unacceptable situation that should never be repeated.”

• Read the CPUC president's entire letter to PG&E

The company had repeatedly assured regulators it was prepared, Batjer said, but multiple breakdowns – including the repeated crashing of its website – seemed to prove otherwise.

The chaos triggered a call from state Sen. Jerry Hill demanding commission intervention and led to angry words from Gov. Gavin Newsom as well.

In apparent response on Monday, Batjer gave the company three days to respond to her concerns, telling Johnson that he and other top PG&E officials should be prepared to come to an emergency commission meeting Friday to explain how it will improve the shutoff program. To prevent a repeat, she also ordered that the company come up with a worst-case shutoff scenario and make sure its system could handle the resulting flood of phone and internet inquiries. The company, she said, must work better with local officials and create more accurate and timely maps of impacted areas.

She also demanded PG&E describe “all ways in which the utility has used monetary and other incentives to ensure that executives make … decisions that protect life and safety.”

The company, she said, should seek to have a 12-hour power restoration goal but acknowledged that due to its size and service area, the company may not be able to act “as strategically as other California utilities.”

Still, she said, the company needs to find ways to narrow the shutoff scope as well as do more to harden its system so it won’t have to turn off the power to begin with.

“It is critical that PG&E, along with all the other utilities in the state, learn from this event and take steps now to ensure mistakes and operational gaps are not repeated,” she said.

Meanwhile, Newsom separately wrote the CPUC urging PG&E to provide $100 rebates to customers and $250 credits to businesses to compensate for the inconvenience.

“PG&E has an obligation to the customers affected by the company’s inadequate preparation and failed execution of this power shutoff event,” the governor told the CPUC. “Lives and commerce were interrupted. Too much hardship was caused.”

• Read Gov. Newsom's entire letter to the CPUC

He cited the “unprecedented scale” of the events of last week as proof of “decades of PG&E prioritizing profit over public safety, mismanagement, inadequate investment in fire safety and fire prevention measures, and neglect of critical infrastructure.”

PG&E’s Johnson, in a statement, reiterated that PG&E had consulted with the commission and other authorities on key decisions. He also noted that after the shutoffs started, crews found some 50 separate cases of wind related equipment damage, suggesting that any one of them could have sparked a wildfire, if not for the preemptive shutdown.

If you had a Yahoo account at any point from 2012 through the end of 2016, you can now apply for credit monitoring services or cash as part of a proposed $117.5 million data breach settlement.

For the first option, the settlement fund will offer at least two years of credit monitoring services by AllClear ID. 

To go with the cash option instead, you must verify that you already have credit monitoring and will keep it for at least a year.

Those who opt-in for the money could expect "less than $100" or possibly up to $358.80, depending on how many people sign up. 

There's an even bigger payout if you can document out-of-pocket loses that you suffered or continue to face because of the data breaches. You could get reimbursed up to $25,000. 

As the frenzy of interest in the Equifax data breach settlement showed earlier this year, though, be prepared for the possibility of a smaller payout should you go the cash route. 

The settlement website warns that "nobody can know in advance how much the payment will be." 

The fund only covers residents of the United States or Israel. It also applies to people who had Yahoo Fantasy Sports, Yahoo Finance, Tumblr and Flickr accounts during the relevant period. Either way, you have to file a claim to get the goods. 

Here's what else you should know: 

When is the deadline to file a claim for the Yahoo data breach settlement?

The deadline to file a claim for credit monitoring services or an alternative compensation claim (the cash option) is July 20, 2020. The deadline to file an out-of-pocket costs claim is also July 20. The deadlines are the same whether online or by postmarked mail. 

How do I file a claim?

You can file your claim online here or by mail. If you're sending in your claim by mail, download a copy of the correct claim form here.

You can also reach out to have a form mailed to you by calling (844) 702-2788 or by emailing info@YahooDataBreachSettlement.com.

Here is where you should mail your claim form: In re: Yahoo! Inc. Customer Data Breach Security Litigation, c/o Settlement Administrator, PO Box 1760, Philadelphia, PA, 19105-1760.

Learn more here.

How do I know if I'm part of the settlement class?

U.S. and Israeli residents who had a Yahoo account from Jan. 1, 2012, through Dec. 31, 2016, are eligible. Some customers were sent a notice about the data breaches but you don't need to have that notice to apply.

Those who had other accounts owned by Yahoo during that period -- Yahoo Fantasy Sports, Yahoo Finance, Tumblr, and Flickr -- are also eligible.

The settlement covers a span of four separate data breaches, including one from 2013 that affected all of Yahoo's 3 billion accounts worldwide. In that breach "names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birth dates, passwords, and security questions and answers of Yahoo account holders" were all compromised. A similar breach affected 500 million user accounts the following year. Learn more here.

If you still wonder whether you were affected, you can call (844) 702-2788 or fill out a contact form here.

What if I want to object to the settlement?

The deadline to object in writing to the settlement or amount of attorney's fees is March 6, 2020. There a number of things you must include along with your objection. Here's the list of what's required. You can also exclude yourself from the settlement, which is the only to keep the right to sue in the future over this issue. The deadline for this is also March 6.

When will I get the money or credit monitoring?

Sometime after a "final fairness hearing" on April 2, 2020, that will take place in a San Jose, California, courtroom. The court will then decide whether to approve the settlement. You can check back on the settlement page for an update. The case is being overseen by Judge Lucy H. Koh.

New Canaan police are looking for three people who are suspected of hitting a police cruiser while fleeing from authorities. 

The incident started on Oct. 13 at the Ralph Lauren at 51 Elm St. Because of several larcenies reported there, an off-duty was stationed there and saw two men and a woman described from prior thefts. 

There was also a gray Acura with stolen Connecticut registration AR-37641 parked in a no-parking zone in front of the story, police said. 

In past thefts from the store, a driver has stayed in a vehicle parked in the no-parking zone in front of the store while two others go inside, take several items, then get into the waiting vehicle and flee, according to police. 

Police said a man and a woman got out of the car while another man stayed behind. 

As the female approached the store, she saw the officer and immediately went back to the car. 

The male did go into the store. When the officer spoke with him, he abruptly left and went back to the car and the driver sped off on Elm Street toward Park Street, police said. 

The off-duty officer requested officers assist and an officer who was traveling west on Cherry Street, approaching the intersection of Park Street, saw the Acura turn onto Cherry Street from Park Street at a high rate of speed. The suspect’s vehicle proceeded to drive straight at the police vehicle at a high rate of speed, police said. Despite the officer’s attempt to turn away, the officer’s vehicle was struck by the vehicle.

The suspect then drove onto the sidewalk in front of St. Aloysius, hit a sign, drove onto the grass in front of the church and continued going, police said. 

Soon after, a resident on Hillside Avenue reported that a vehicle was parked in their driveway, running, and no one was inside. 

The suspects had been seen running toward Forest Street and area department K-9s searched, but did not find the people they were looking for. 

Police continued to investigate the incidents at Ralph Lauren and encourage anyone with information to call Sgt. Romano of the Investigative Section at 203-594-3523. 

Someone fired BBs into a car with a 3-year-old girl inside in Bolton on Sunday night and police are looking for anyone with information about who fired the shots to come forward. 

Police said the family was in the Bolton Notch area, going west on Route 6 with the merge onto Interstate 384 around 10:55 p.m. when it happened. 

A white sedan with orange grill lights pulled up by the vehicle and people inside it started firing a BB gun into the family’s vehicle, shattering the vehicle’s windows, police said. 

Anyone who has information or saw the suspect vehicle in the Bolton Notch area is asked to call State Police at 860-465-5400 or send a private message to Bolton Resident State Trooper’s page.

Route 15 North was closed in Wallingford after a multi-vehicle crash, but it has reopened.

State police Tweeted that they are investigating.

North Haven police tweeted that the crash was initially reported in the area of exit 63, but the crash was between exits 64 and 65 and several injuries were reported.

No additional information was immediately available.

A $20,000 piece of Salvador Dali art was stolen from a gallery in San Francisco, and gallery officials are hoping security video will help lead police to the thief.

The piece called "The Burning Giraffe" was supposed to be locked to an easel at the Dennis Rae Fine Arts Gallery. The gallery's director said a man walked away with the large framed piece Sunday, carrying it right down the street.

Security video shows a man walking down Geary Boulevard toward Union Square Sunday afternoon, carrying a large frame.

"He just grabbed it and walked off," gallery Director Angela Kellett said. "We don't know where the secure device is."

Kellett said she's not sure how the man walked out with it in hand without anyone noticing.

"It's a copper plate first etched by Picasso, a collaborative work," she said. Security cameras captured the thief walking down Geary then disappearing down Powell Street. Kellett is hoping the Dali turns up, and the gallery can continue operating with an open-door policy.

"That's why this makes us sad because we don't want to become where we are fearing this kind of thing," she said. "We want everyone to feel welcome."

Kellett says at this point it will be hard to sell the piece because collectors know it's stolen.

The gallery is asking anyone who knows the suspect or has seen "The Burning Giraffe" to call police.
