Crews wil demolish an apartment building ravaged in a Friday night fire that sent three to the hospital, including an 8-year-old girl, and displaced more than three dozen people.

Flames rapidly ripped through 22-24 Hamilton Street at about 7:30 p.m. Friday and firefighters had to rescue an 8-year-old girl who was inside. On Saturday morning, the structure was showing serious signs of weakness.

Police have blocked off the area because the charred building could collapse at any moment. The back of the building is barely holding up with just one support beat remaining.

“It’s just unbelievable… unbelievable," neighbor Cody Jackson said.

The American Red Cross is helping 39 people displaced from 10 families, including 26 adults and 13 kids, by giving them emergency housing and providing food and warm clothing to brave the cold weather. Volunteers are also giving the children stuffed animals. Another family that lives in the apartment building was not at the scene, but the Red Cross has offered to help them, as well.                                                                                                         

Officials are trying to save a neighboring building damaged in the fire.

There are still hoses running through the building because firefighters had to drop everything and run from the complex.

Police, gas company workers and construction crews are on scene waiting for demolition equipment to arrive. Crews are slated to demolish the building Saturday afternoon.

Firefighters rescued a pilot trapped in a single-engine plane that crashed into the woods 100 feet from a house in Clinton on Saturday afternoon, according to Clinton First Selectman William Fritz.

Fritz said the plane, which was attempting to land at Chester Airport, went down around 3 p.m. in the area of Princess Pine Road and Ironworks Road. A homeowner was in the backyard splitting wood when the plane barreled into the trees.

The homeowner brought a ladder up to the crash site and talked to the pilot, who was conscious and alert, but couldn't get the pilot out, Fritz said. Police have identified the pilot as 62-year-old Shirley Onacilla of Jersey City, New Jersey.

According to Fritz, the plane appears to have run out of fuel. Onacilla, who firefighters pulled from the plane, was taken to Middlesex Hospital for treatment of minor bruises and abrasions. She has since been released.

The National Transportation Safety Board is heading to the scene to investigate the crash. Fritz said the plane is still dangling from the trees 8-10 feet from the ground.

The mother of a 9-year-old girl who was critically wounded by her brother was arrested Saturday on charges accusing her of possessing a stolen weapon and leaving it unsecured in her home, Newark police said.

Catrease Thomas, 33, was being charged with endangering the welfare of a child and possession of a weapon.

Her daughter was shot in the chest by her 12-year-old brother who was playing with the gun inside their home. The girl was taken to a nearby hospital where she remains in critical but stable condition.

The weapon, a 9 mm handgun, was reported stolen out of Alabama and was unsecured in Thomas' home on the 200 block of Renner Avenue in Newark, police said. Police recovered the gun, which was loaded.

Charges are pending against a second adult, police said.

“The city, the police department, the residents, we are all outraged that this senseless shooting has occurred, an incident that could have easily been avoided but for the carelessness of two adults. We have a 9-year-old clinging to her life as a result of that carelessness,” said Newark Police Director Eugene Venable. “My heart goes out to the family of the children although the children’s mother and her boyfriend will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

A storm moving in could bring freezing rain to parts of Connecticut overnight and into Monday morning.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory from 9 p.m. on Sunday until 10 a.m. on Monday for Litchfield and northern Fairfield County.

Light rain will begin to fall after midnight, according to NBC Connecticut meteorologist Darren Sweeney, and some icing is possible in the hills and towns north and west of Hartford until temperatures rise from low- to mid-30s.

The icing may lead to a few slippery spots during the morning commute across the Litchfield Hills, particularly for elevations above 1,000 feet. 

Periods of light rain will continue through the day Monday with heavier rain moving in Monday evening.

More than 1 inch of rain might fall in some towns and gusty winds will develop during the afternoon and evening along the shoreline. 

Wind gusts in excess of 45 mph in southeastern Connecticut could result in scattered power outages as some tree limbs and brances might come down.

Behind the storm, much colder weather will move in for Tuesday and Wednesday. 

An Ashford man was arrested on drug charges after leading state police on a chase before flipping his car early Sunday morning.

State police said they stopped Kyle Robinshaw, 20, of Ashford, on Route 74 in Ashford just before 12:30 a.m. on Sunday and smelled marijuana as they approached his car.

As another state trooper responded, Robinshaw fled and led police on a chase until he lost control of his car on Route 44, which went off the side of the road and flipped on its roof, according to a news release from police.

As police searched the car, they found 10.07 ounces of what appeared to be marijuana, as well as drug paraphernalia.

Robinshaw, who was not hurt, was taken into police custody and charged him with reckless driving, engaging police in a pursuit, several drug charges, possession of alcohol by a minor and interfering with a police officer.

He was released on a $1,000 bond and is due in court in Danielson on Nov. 24.

Two brothers in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, were badly burned in a backyard campfire accident on Saturday, the Fitchburg Fire Chief confirmed.

The brothers, 11 and 13, were injured after squirting gasoline on a burning campfire, according to authorities.

Neighbors say they heard a boom at 83 Walnut Street as a result of the gasoline being dumped on the flames around 5:30 p.m.

Jaxson Carroll, 11, suffered second-degree burns on his face. He was flown to UMass Medical Center for treatment.

Jameson Carroll, 13, suffered second-degree burns on his leg. He was taken to the same hospital via ambulance.

One of the brothers was later transported to Shriners Hospital. 

The mother of the boys was inside the home fetching marshmallows when the mishap took place, neighbors said. She suffered burns as well after coming to their aid. 

An off-duty San Diego police officer was involved in a deadly fight with his brother, officials in Chula Vista confirmed.

Parents of the two men called 911 for help when the argument broke out at 8:22 a.m. Friday at the Parkwoods Condominium Association on Center Street, just next door to the Chula Vista Police Department.

When one son became violent toward the mother, investigators say the off-duty officer intervened to prevent his parents from being injured.

Homicide investigators say the off-duty officer was stabbed four times and found bleeding in the complex parking lot. The SDPD officer was rushed to UC San Diego Medical Center where he was said to be conscious and talking.

The officer's brother, who is considered the suspect, was found inside the family's home suffering from gunshot wounds. He did not survive his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

"There was an argument. There's been some mental health history with the suspect. They were attempting to get him some help," CVPD Lt. Fritz Reber said.

The suspect armed himself with knives and stabbed the officer, police say. Reber said it's believed the off-duty officer shot his brother in self-defense.

There is no word if the off-duty officer's service gun was used in the shooting.

Officers shut down Center Street as they collected evidence and removed the brother's body.

SDPD Chief Shelley Zimmerman told NBC 7 she went to visit the officer at the hospital Friday.

"He is recovering from stab wounds. It is a tragedy that this had to happen," Zimmerman said.

Family neighbor Robert Ledesma said he used to see the suspect walking his dog.

"I used to ask him about Padres and Chargers, and he was a pretty nice guy as far as I know," Ledesma said.

"Things like this shouldn't happen," he added.

A 61-year-old man standing on a subway platform with his wife was pushed into the path of an oncoming subway train and killed Sunday in the Bronx, officials said.

The engineer on the southbound D train saw Wai Kuen Kwok on the tracks at the 167th Street station shortly before 9 a.m., police said. The conductor tried to stop the train, but it was too late, and the man was hit, police said.

The victim's wife was taken to the hospital but was physically uninjured, police said. She was released and has spoken to police.

Police said the shove appeared to be unprovoked. They are searching for the pusher and are reviewing surveillance footage; a suspect was seen boarding a city bus after the attack, according to the NYPD.  

More than 170 passengers and crew have fallen ill with norovirus on a nearly month-long cruise that docked in San Pedro, California, Sunday morning. 

Princess Cruises confirmed that passengers were ill with the stomach flu in a Nov.13 statement, saying the ship would receive a "deep cleaning" in Los Angeles on Sunday before it embarks on its next voyage.

Out of the 3,009 passengers and 1,160 crew members aboard the ship, 158 passengers and 14 crewmembers took ill with the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Norovirus, an infectious stomach flu, causes vomiting and diarrhea, according to the CDC.

The Crown Princess docked in the Port of Los Angeles at 6:50 a.m PT (9:50 a.m ET).

The ship's return was delayed by a day because of a separate illness that required the ship to backtrack to an island on Monday, Nov. 10, according to Princess Cruises.

An extremely sick crew member was offloaded on an island in French Polynesia because he required emergency surgery, according to the statement. He was flown to another island and is expected to fully recover.

In April, 129 people on the same ship contracted norovirus during a seven-day cruise off the California coast.
