Where the heck do you people live? Move to any white New England town and you wonn’t have to worry about being invaded ever again.

CHESHIRE, Conn. — A prominent doctor’s wife and two daughters died in a fire that police said was ignited after a home invasion early Monday morning.

Investigators told Eyewitness News they believe a home invasion robbery took place at about 3 a.m. at the home of Dr. William Petit Jr. Police said they believe the assailants set the house on fire before leaving the scene.

Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Leon Collins reported Petit lived in the home with his wife and two daughters. Collins said a fire caused extensive damage inside the house and the charred remains of the fire could be seen from the street through the upstairs window of the house in the 300 block of Sorgum Mill Drive.

Eyewitness News has learned that the three people killed in the incident were the doctor’s wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, 48, a nurse at Cheshire Academy, and the couple’s two daughters, Hayley and Michaela. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding their deaths.

St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury told Eyewitness News Monday afternoon that Dr. Petit was being treated at the hospital and is listed in stable condition.

Authorities surrounded the home after a woman was taken by one of the suspects to a bank and made a withdrawal around 9:30 a.m., police said. The woman was able to communicate to the teller that she and her family were being held hostage in their home, authorities said. The teller contacted police.

Police said officers arrested two people before they were able to escape the neighborhood.

“(They were) apprehended down the street. When they left, they apparently set the house ablaze,” Cheshire police Lt. Jay Markella said.

Police said the suspects rammed one cruiser, went down the street and smashed into two others.

Wanna bet? Bad guys have cars these days. While moving to such a local, or many others, lowers your risk, it doesn't eliminate it.
