The National Transportation Safety Board has released its preliminary report on the airplane crash in East Haven on August 9 that killed four people and it includes information from a witness who said he saw the plane, inverted and traveling at a high rate of speed before the crash.

William Henningsgard, of Medina, Washington, was operating the airplane and his 17-year-old son, Maxwell, was a passenger onboard when the aircraft went down on Charter Oak Avenue at 11:21 a.m. on August 9 and struck two houses at 64 and 68 Charter Oak Avenue, according to officials.

Sade Brantley,13, and her 1-year-old sister, Madisyn Mitchell, were in one of houses that was struck. All four were killed.

A student pilot who was traveling on Interstate 95 at exit 51 right before the crash told the NTSB he looked to his right and saw the airplane at the “end of a right roll.” It was “inverted and traveling at a high rate of speed, nose-first” toward the ground in the vicinity of Tweed-New Haven airport.

When the witness stopped at a local business, he learned that it had crashed.

A witness who lives two houses away from the crash scene told NTSB he was in his living room and saw the plane descending at a 90-degree angle, right-side down, into the houses.

The airplane Henningsgard was operating had left Teeterboard Airport in New Jersey around 10:49 a.m. on the day of the crash. Two minutes before the crash, the pilot told air traffic control that could see the airport.

The last radar target was at 11:20 a.m., according to the NTSB.

At that point, it was  .7 miles north of the runway the plane was scheduled to land at and it was traveling at an altitude of 800 feet, according to the report.

When investigators arrived at the crash scene, they would find the front half of the plane, including the cockpit, left engine and front two-thirds of the fuselage in the basement, according to the NTSB.

The right wing struck another house and the right engine and propeller struck the ground between the two houses.  

Fire consumed most of the wreckage.

The NTSB also noted the wind as of 11:26 a.m. as 12 knots, gusting to 19 knots, along with a visibility of nine miles and an overcast ceiling at 900 feet.

An employee at a Shelton Cumberland Farms was critically injured while trying to stop thieves from stealing two signs featuring actor David Hasselhoff.

The Hasselhoff signs have been a popular target for thieves since the "Baywatch" actor began doing commercials for the convenience store chain last year.

According to police, a black SUV pulled into the parking lot of the Cumberland Farms at 819 River Road around 1:15 a.m. on Tuesday.

A 36-year-old worker noticed a man get out of the SUV and cut down two poster boards with Hasselhoff on them from a light pole and put them in the back of the vehicle. The employee approached the SUV to try and get the signs back and the driver sped away, dragging the victim and throwing him to the ground.

The employee, who has not been identified, flipped backwards and landed on his head, police said. He is listed in critical condition at Bridgeport Hospital.

There were three people inside the SUV, which drove down River Road towards Stratford, according to police.

Investigators are reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Shelton Police Detective Bureau at 203-924-1544.

In July 2012, more than 500 cardboard cutouts featuring Hasselhoff were stolen from Cumberland Farms stores in New England and Florida.

A photographer testified Tuesday that while at Fort Hood for a graduation ceremony in November 2009, he took pictures of the gunman as he was prowling around during the 2009 attack.

The photographer, Steven Bennett, was among the last witnesses to take the stand before the prosecution rested Tuesday in the Fort Hood mass shooting trial of Army Maj. Nidal Hasan on Tuesday.

Bennett, who was unaware of the shooting that had taken place in another building at the base, said the gunman told him his weapon was a paintball gun and that it was for a training exercise.

The photographer said was skeptical and began following and taking photographs of the man, whom he identified in court Tuesday as Hasan. Prosecutors entered several of those photos into evidence that show the shooter walking as other people ran from the scene. Those photos have not yet been released to the public.

Bennett's photos also captured an image of the wounded suspect on the ground after a shootout with police.

Separately Tuesday, a sworn statement from Fort Hood police Sgt. Mark Todd, who is credited with taking down the shooter and did not appear in court, was read in the trial. Additionally, an Army doctor testified that Hasan told her a month before the shooting that "they will pay" if he was deployed to Afghanistan.

After the prosecution rested, the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, dismissed the jury and said "We'll resume tomorrow with the defense's case, if any."

Hasan has kept mostly silent during the first two weeks of the trial and it's not clear whether he'll take the stand in his own defense.

Court is scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

A military veteran and his wife lost their life savings to a new lottery scam using the official San Diego County seal on letterhead, officials said Tuesday.

One retired San Diego couple, ages 83 and 79 years old, recently received several phone calls telling them they had won as much as $2.5 million.

The couple then got a faxed letter that appeared to come from county officials describing taxes necessary before the lottery winnings could be deposited into the Navy Credit Federal Union.

The couple gave their Social Security numbers, bank account information and sent $20,000 in bank transfers and telegrams to several individuals.

The thieves then used the information to clean out the couple’s bank account, stealing an additional $3,000 officials said.

San Diego County prosecutors learned of the theft when they were contacted by Navy attorneys at MCAS Miramar.

District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said the letter appears to target seniors and veterans.

Since the San Diego couple alerted authorities, there have been two similar incidents reported. One occured in another California city and one happened in New Mexico.

“Anytime you will get a phone call promising you’ve won, just hang up because it’s not going to be the case,” said Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood.

“When they tell you on the phone ‘Don’t tell anybody, don’t even tell the bank, don’t tell the credit union,’ that’s a huge red flag,” he said.

He also called on financial institutions to do more to protect their customers from this and similar scams.

Using the government seal is a felony, officials said.

Victims of this scam or other possible financial elder abuse can contact the district attorney's staff at (619) 531-3245.

Eight people were hurt, one of them seriously, in an explosion at a New Jersey naval station Tuesday, officials said.

The U.S. Navy said crews were doing routine maintenance on a utility boat at Earle Naval Weapons Station in Monmouth County about 9 a.m, when the explosion occurred.

Ammunition operations at the weapons station weren't affected by the explosion, and the damage was contained to the boathouse, the U.S. Navy said. The exact cause of the blast is still under investigation.

All of the victims were taken to hospitals, primarily with minor injuries related to smoke inhalation. One of the workers has already been released from the hospital. The other six are still being evaluated by doctors.

The station is in Leonardo, N.J. on Sandy Hook Bay.

"He doesn't deserve whatever happened to him," said Sherron Kaba while holding back tears.

A construction worker found Kaba's 19-year-old son Daquan Crump's body at a Northeast Philadelphia demolition site Monday morning.

"The only thing I can tell you right now is that it appears it was very personal and very vicious," said Philadelphia police Captain James Clark.

Crump was shot 10 to 12 times in the face and head, Clark said.

"It appears he was taken or walked into that area and shot multiple times while he was on the ground," said Clark.

Crump's backpack, which he always carried, was near his body. Inside was his Wendy's uniform. He worked at a nearby Wendy's, police say, and that is the last place he was seen when he left work around 11 p.m. Saturday.

Investigators are trying to figure out where Crump was between then and 5:30 a.m. Monday morning.

A construction worker found Crump's body around 7:20 a.m. at the former site of Black Red White Furniture along the 10000 block of Northeast Avenue in the Somerton section of Northeast Philadelphia.

The worker called 911 and emergency responders rushed to the scene. The construction site is located across the street from the fields behind George Washington High School not far from Red Lion Road and the Roosevelt Boulevard (Route 1).

Police say Crump both lived and worked in the neighborhood and that he never had any trouble with the law.

"He lives with his mother and also his grandmother, Clark said. "He goes back and forth. We know he was not with either of them last night."

Family members say they last saw Crump Thursday night.

Crump was a GW High grad who began working at Wendy's two weeks ago, according to his family.

Clark said police need someone to come forward with information to help them solve this murder.

According to Licenses and Inspections records, demolition permits for the property were issued dating back to 2009. There are 15 separate violations listed for the property ranging from high weeds on the property to partial collapses.

A California jury has found accused serial killer Joseph Naso guilty of killing four women in the Bay Area and Yuba County between 1977 and 1994, in a notorious series of killings known as the "alphabet murders."

The Marin County jury deliberated for about seven hours over a two-day period, and agreed with prosecutors, convicting Naso of four counts of first-degree murder, as well as the special circumstance of committing multiple murders, which makes him eligible for the death penalty.

Naso, 79, did not visibly react when the verdict was read at about 2:20 p.m.

Naso insisted on representing himself in the trial, which began in mid-June, with the help of an advisory counsel.

The jury convicted him of killing Roxene Roggasch, 18, of Oakland, and Carmen Colon, a 22-year-old East Bay resident. Roggasch was found dead off of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard west of Fairfax on Jan. 11, 1977.

Roggasch's stepfather, Vern Ashby, told NBC Bay Area the family is relieved and elated by the verdict. He said the family has always wondered if they would ever find out who killed Roxene and if she would ever get justice. Ashby said the district attorney called him Tuesday afternoon to inform him of the verdict.

Roggasch's mother, Beverly Ashby, said she hopes Naso will get the death penalty. "I think they ought to hang him by the balls," Beverly Ashby said.

Colon's body was found near Carquinez Scenic Drive in Port Costa in Contra Costa County on Aug. 15, 1978. Naso, a former commercial photographer, was also found guilty of the murders of Pamela Parsons, 38, and Tracy Tafoya, 31, whose bodies were found in Yuba County in September 1993 and August 1994, respectively.

All four victims are believed to have worked as prostitutes, and their murders became known as the "alphabet murders" because their first and last names all began with the same letter.

The jury saw Naso, acting as his own attorney, smiling and wearing a suit and tie during the two-month trial--a far different demeanor than on his first day in a Marin County courtroom after his 2011 arrest at his home in Reno, Nevada. 

Naso was arrested after visiting probation officers found disturbing photographs of nude women in unnatural positions. They appeared unconscious or dead.

Naso called it art.

Deputy District Attorney Rosemary Slote called it criminal, claiming Naso drugged and photographed his victims, strangled them, and dumped their naked bodies in rural areas of Marin and Contra Costa counties in the 1970s.

Naso's DNA was found in semen collected from the pantyhose Roggasch was wearing when her body was found, prosecutors said.

Evidence against Naso included a handwritten list that prosecutors allege refers to at least seven women, including the four victims and some of the locations where their bodies were found. During the trial, the prosecution presented 70 witnesses, and Naso called seven to the stand.

The jury began deliberating on Monday afternoon. The sentencing phase of the trial, to begin next month, will determine whether Naso will face the death penalty.

Even if Naso is sentenced to death, it is unlikely he will be executed. There are 725 inmates already on California's Death Row and executions have been on hold since 2006, when a federal judge ordered an overhaul of California's execution protocol.

If you've ever driven on State Route 52 north of San Diego, you've likely felt that roller coaster sensation along one infamous stretch.

It is the site of several serious crashes including one in April 2012 that killed two teenagers and severely injured several others.

The teenagers were riding in two separate vehicles and began racing each other on eastbound SR-52 at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.

Anthony Foreman, 18, was killed in the crash.

His father Mark Foreman knows speed is mostly to blame for his son's death, but also wonders about why it happened where it did, in the spot along the highway known for those infamous “rollercoaster” dips.

“We have a witness that testified in court that he saw the rear end of the car lift off the ground at one point," Foreman said.

Many residents known the stretch of highway connecting I-15 and I-805 was built over a landfill.

Cathryn Bruce-Johnson with Caltrans says the agency has been fixing the road as the landfill beneath the highway sinks.

Foreman, a retired San Diego Police officer of 30 years, doesn't think the repairs are happening enough.

A report from the CHP of accidents in that area suggests a trend in crashes before and after those dips are fixed, he said.

"After the rehabilitation, the crashes are almost non-existent for awhile, and then they start picking up, and then the severity of them changes," Foreman told NBC 7.

Caltrans says the repairs are happening about every two years.

"Caltrans monitors SR52 as well as our other highways and freeways on a regular basis to determine what is needed,” Bruce-Johnson said. “We have the ability to take immediate action for any urgent items. Our priority is the safety of the motorists."

Santee high school student Jayli James Campbell, 16, also died in the April 2012 crash. Nineteen-year-old Michael Johnson pleaded guilty to racing and received three years probation. A second driver, who was 16 at the time of the crash, also entered a guilty plea and was sent to juvenile camp as punishment.

Google showed off its $1.3 billion social-mapping acquisition on Google Maps Tuesday — and with it, users will be able to get help avoiding traffic jams thanks to Waze's crowd-sourced real-time traffic reports.

Google introduced the first mash-up of the startup Waze and Google Maps for mobile on both iOS and Android. It will show construction, road closures and collisions reported by Waze users, according to AllThingsD. Google bought the Israel-based startup after Facebook reportedly lost interest when Waze founders wanted to keep their headquarters in Tel Aviv. (Despite this, Waze still has an office in Palo Alto, Calif.)

The Medical Examiner has performed an autopsy on a woman's body found in Vista.

However, it could be weeks before the cause of death is determined, as the office waits for lab results.

The body was found Monday afternoon behind the E-Z Express Laundromat near North Santa Fe Drive and East Bobier Drive. The laundromat owner was taking out the trash when he discovered the body near the Dumpster.

The woman’s body was wrapped in plastic and covered with trash. Officials said the body showed no obvious signs of trauma.

Now, sheriff's deputies are looking at surveillance video from the laundromat to figure out how the body got there.

Detectives aren't calling this a homicide just yet.

"At this point, we're conducting a death investigation. We don't know if this is foul play necessarily. Don't know what led to her death. Could be a natural death and somebody just put her back there. We just don't know,” Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said.

The woman’s identity has not been released.

It's amazing what a coat of paint can do. And in the case of Cecily's Closet, it's changing lives.

Rachel Ackerly's daughter Cecily was born with an undiagnosed chromosomal disorder. A few years ago, friends and family did a surprise makeover on Cecily's bedroom.

"It meant so much to us," Ackerly said. "We want to give this to other families. So, how can we go about doing it?"

That question is what prompted the Ackerly family to start a non-profit to make over rooms for families of children with special needs. Rachel said the initial goal was to do three to four rooms a year.  They're averaging triple that. The group just finished its 41st room.

It is entirely volunteer and donation-driven. Local artists, like Emily Dolton, have done more than a dozen rooms. Dolton is also the mother of a special needs child.

"It's really nice to know that you can come in and do what you would love to have done for yourself," she said.

This month, Cecily's Closet did something it has never done before: Completing 10 rooms in fewer than two weeks. It's part of the Mission of Giving campaign, which was funded by the UPS Foundation. 

One of those rooms belongs to 3-year-old Max Erth who was born with an extremely rare condition called Smith-Magenis syndrome.  Max was born two months early with a hole in his heart and weighing about three pounds.  Part of the condition is what's called "reverse melatonin."

"Which means at midnight, he's up wanting to play," Max's mom Diane Erth said. "We would come in in the morning and every piece of clothing was on the floor, every book was on the floor."

As part of Max's Disney room makeover, Cecily's Closet put in a locking wardrobe, and a opening in the door so Max's parents can check on him at night. 

"So, the room needs to look pretty," Rachel Ackerly said. "But we also want it to be functional for that family and solve whatever challenge they might have and just make their life a little easier."

Ackerly said one room makeover can take up to 120 hours. Cecily's Closet relies on donations and volunteers.  She said she's grateful to companies like Paint Green that paint almost every room before the artist comes in.  Other groups that have helped make the room makeovers possible include: Websense, the UPS Store, Qualcomm, HP, Maxim Healthcare, Children's Physicians Medical Group, Eventful, Inc., Dream Dinners and Bassett Furniture, SD Family Magazine, Mattress Company Direct and Dunn-Edwards.

"It's amazing that people who have never met Max would do this," Diane Erth said.

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of a key moment in the civil rights movement, one Washington-area leader who was at the March on Washington is working to connect his community with the importance and struggles of that historic day.

“We didn't have the Internet or a cell phone, but we always got the word of what was going on in your home, and we always cheered for the underdog, and we knew we were the underdogs,” NAACP Prince George’s County, Md., Chapter President Bob Ross said.

Fifty years ago, Ross was a 19-year-old from Philadelphia.

“Even though we were in Philadelphia, we had boundaries that we didn’t cross, streets we didn’t cross, and that’s how we knew something needed changing,” he said.

The conditions most black Americans were living in at the time brought Ross and his mother to Washington, D.C., Aug. 28, 1963.

“We came by bus, and the first sight was the number of African-Americans that we saw,” he said. “It was just overwhelming. A lot of people like us.”

The profound impact of that day, of those experiences, has shaped his life's work.

“I guess I’ve been on a journey ever since that day,” Ross said.

Ross met with politicians, community organizers and residents Tuesday to harness the collective strength of the county to stir up excitement and participation for Saturday’s march. At 7 a.m. Saturday, Ross and County Executive Rushern Baker will meet the Prince George’s County delegation at the Washington Monument and march to the Lincoln Memorial as a group.

The goal is to use the day not only as a celebration, but as a launching pad for the work that still needs to be done.

“The dream is not complete,” he said.

A team of students from Wilmington, Del., spent their entire summer vacation breaking a Guinness World Record.

The students from John Dickinson High School erected a 112-foot tower of more than 500,000 LEGO bricks – breaking the previous record set by the city of Prague in the Czech Republic, who built a 106-foot tower, according to Gizmodo.

Instead of going to camp or on vacation, the students spent their entire summer vacation building the tower. The last brick was put into place Monday in front of Guinness World Record Book representatives.
 

Firefighters on Tuesday battled several blazes in the region and will stay on high alert while the Bay Area remains under a red flag alert.

A San Jose family camp was forced to evacuate its quarters due to the rim fire near Highway 120, near Yosemite. Firefighters on Tuesday night were struggling to contain the blaze, which grew from 2,500 acres to more than 11,000 acres.

In addition, 2,500 structures are threatened from the blaze.

All students and staff who were staying at the camp returned safely to the Bay Area on Tuesday night.

Also on Tuesday, about 160 acres burned at the Camp Parks Military Base near Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.

A man driving along a main route to a popular casino in San Diego's East County was seriously injured in a traffic collision and may lose his leg officials said.

A Sycuan casino bus collided with a Chrysler 300 in the 5200-block of Dehesa Road.

There was extensive damage to the front left side of the bus.

The driver in the Chrysler was seriously injured and rushed to Sharp via helicopter officials said.

There were 9 to 10 Sycuan employees on the bus. Two people on the bus were injured.

California Highway Patrol investigators told NBC 7 there is evidence that alcohol was involved.

CHP officials say the driver smelled like alcohol and empty beer cans were found near the wrecked vehicle.

Officials said they were unable to do a blood test because he was rushed to surgery.

A suspicious device in unincorporated El Cajon turned out to be harmless, according to officials.

A suitcase was spotted in the 13,000-block of Highway 8 Business on Tuesday afternoon. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department had received a call about a package on the side of the road.

Deputies taped off the area, and a bomb squad was called in to investigate.

No evacuations or injuries were reported.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner returned to the negotiation table Tuesday in his mediation with city leaders, none of whom would reveal specifics on what they were discussing.

Special Section: Mayor Under Fire

City Council President Todd Gloria and Councilmember Kevin Faulconer and City Attorney Jan Goldsmith joined the mediation session inside the high-rise building on West Broadway.

While several intimated the proceedings were going well, they cited a request from retired federal Judge Lawrence Irving as a reason for not revealing specifics.

"We're in mediation right now but as soon as we have something we can share, I'll definitely come out and talk to you," Gloria said.

"We're not going to be talking about the specifics at this point which are ongoing, but when there is something, I'll certainly let you know,” Faulconer said.

On Monday, NBC 7 San Diego has learned the negotiation is taking place inside a conference room at Butz Dunn & DeSantis.

Mayor Filner sat on one end of a long conference table facing City Attorney Goldsmith who sat at the other end. The two men who have had a long public feud sat at polar opposites of the table according to one source.

Amid increasing calls for him to resign, Mayor Filner was spotted in San Diego Monday for the first time since he announced he would enter a two-week intensive treatment program Aug. 5.

Filner's staff reported that the mayor entered the treatment a week early and finished the program on Aug. 10. They have not disclosed the location of the facility or the disorder for which Filner sought treatment.

Filner has not addressed the city or his constituents about a number of sexual harassment allegations and other claims that have surfaced since he was last seen July 26.

Among the allegations, that he misused his city-issued credit card and may have misused city funds for a trip to Paris in June.

City Attorney Goldsmith has said that Mayor Filner would be “given an out.”

After Tuesday's mediation session, Goldsmith told local media that he would not comment on the day's mediation.

On Monday, attorney Gloria Allred and her client Irene McCormack Jackson were part of the mediation.

McCormack Jackson, the mayor’s former communications director, filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment during the six months she worked with Mayor Filner.

After she aired her experiences with the mayor, more than a dozen other women have come forward and shared stories of Bob Filner making unwanted sexual advances either as mayor or congressman.

It's expected that the Democratic National Committee will ask members to vote on a resolution demanding that Filner resign as a follow up on the recent statement by Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The members will meet in Scottsdale, Ariz on Friday.

A brush fire burned 18 acres in unincorporated El Cajon on Tuesday, according to officials.

The incident happened around 2:20 p.m. at 12970 Highway 8 Business, near Interstate 8.

Officials said the fire burned across the street from a mobile home park. Thick black smoke drifted toward I-8 slowing traffic.

Residents used ladders and hoses to help firefighters fight the fire.

For a short time limited evacuations were ordered, but as firefighters cleared the flames evacuations were canceled.

A man was shot at a La Jolla motel on Tuesday night, according to officials.

The incident happened around 5:40 p.m. at the Biltmore Motel at 5385 La Jolla Blvd. in the Bird Rock community.

According to police, the suspect barged into the motel room where the victim and his girlfriend had been staying. Police said the suspect was pistol-whipping the man when the gun fired, shooting the victim in the hand.

Police are now looking for the suspect, who they say knew the victim. Officials said the suspect and the suspect’s girlfriend fled in a gold SUV.

The victim, a man in his 20s, was taken to Scripps La Jolla Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The victim’s girlfriend and another person in the room weren’t hurt.

Neighbors told NBC 7 that the motel has been attracting trouble.

"My name is Sybrina Fulton. I'm Trayvon Martin's mother," starts the song "Joy Comes in the Morning.”

Those words are spoken by Fulton as the chorus kicks in for the single, which debuted on South Florida radio station Hot 105 on Tuesday. Fulton, sitting behind a radio microphone, told listeners about her initial reaction to to George Zimmerman being found not guilty in the shooting death of her son.

"We couldn't believe that people didn't see it our way and think he was guilty. We got a lot of work to do. Listen I can't be mad or angry about it, I have to move forward," she said.

The CD project is a collaboration between Fulton and Gospel hip-hop artist T-D.O.G.G.

"I wanted to do something to inspire other people, other families who have been victims of senseless gun violence," Fulton said.

The song's lyrics were inspired by the sadness T-D.O.G.G saw in the mother's face, as Fulton did countless television interviews following her son's death.

"I went back and watched her segments on TV and said 'I'm going to step outside of myself and see what she would be feeling,'" T-D.O.G.G said.

Callers who listened to the song thanked Fulton.

"Your song is so touching," said one woman who shared that she had lost her mother five years ago.

For another Miami Gardens family, the wound is still fresh. Twelve-year-old Tequila Forshee, who was excited about the upcoming school year, was shot and killed while at her grandmother's home last Wednesday.

"She should be in school right now, but she died. Senseless violence in the city of Miami Gardens," DJ Rick Party told his listeners.

Fulton and Trayvon's father Tracy Martin met with Tequila's family through the Trayvon Martin Foundation.

"It’s just sad, because they're actually sitting where we were last year at this time. And the hurt and the pain it doesn't go away," Fulton said.

Fulton told the family to cry when they needed to, and to surround themselves with positive people. She hopes the song will offer families like the Forshees the motivation to continue on.

The song ends with Fulton speaking these words: "My angel Trayvon is watching over me and a peace of my heart is in heaven.”

Fulton said proceeds from the sale of the CD will go towards making more copies of the song.
