New England mall shooting happened after men ‘got into a beef,' officials say
A shooting at a Connecticut mall that left five adults injured Tuesday afternoon stemmed from two men who 'got into a beef,' according to officials. 'It was not a random act of violence, it was two young men who knew each other, had a history and a past,' Waterbury Mayor Paul Pernerewski, Jr. said during a press conference Wednesday. 'Instead of having, at one time what would have been a fist fight, because he was armed came out with a pistol,' the mayor said. The incident occurred at the Brass Mill Center Mall in Waterbury shortly before 4:45 p.m. on May 27, Waterbury police said in a Facebook post. Police identified the suspected gunman as 19-year-old Tajuan Washington, of Waterbury, through watching surveillance footage. He was arrested and charged with five counts of assault and various weapons violations Tuesday evening. Washington was being held on a $2 million bond. He was expected to appear in court later in the day Wednesday. Waterbury Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo recalled the 'chaotic scene' during the Wednesday press conference. Spagnolo said officers found the five victims in a state of panic as they were unsure if there was still an active shooter in the mall. Authorities said Washington knew all the victims. However, it was later determined that the suspected gunman had made his way through the mall, exited through the JC Penny and left shortly after the assault, Spagnolo said. Meanwhile all five victims, whose ages range from 18 to mid-20s, were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. As of Tuesday morning, three of the five people were out of the hospital. The two remaining people were said to be in stable condition. The most severe injury was one woman who shot in the spine, according to Pernerewski, Jr. However, the mayor said she is starting to regain feeling in her legs and will undergo rehabilitation to hopefully avoid paralysis. 'We are very shaken to have this happen here in Waterbury, but we're not broken,' Pernerewski said at the press conference. 'This is a strong city and we are very much standing together in times of crisis.' The mayor reassured the public that the shooting was a 'one-off incident' and that the mall and city are safe. He also said officials plan on discussing new safety and security plans to help keep the mall safe. The mall was closed Wednesday, and will be closed indefinitely, as authorities continued their investigation. 'We are working in full cooperation with the Waterbury Police Department and local officials as they investigate this unfortunate incident,' a Brass Mill Center spokesperson said in a statement sent to WFSB. 'There is no ongoing threat to the public and we will open under normal operating hours once cleared by the city,' the statement read. 'We extend our sincere gratitude to the local emergency responders for their prompt action and will continue to closely monitor the situation.' Officials have yet to find the involved weapon, but Spagnolo said Washington used a handgun in the shooting. Anyone with information about it is urged to call Waterbury detectives at (203) 574-6941 or share an anonymous tip by calling (203) 755-1234.

Live Events Is JCPenny's new business strategy helping the brand survive? How are consumer habits forcing JCPenny and others to downsize? What should shoppers know before these jcpenny stores close? What's next for JCPenny? FAQs: (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel JCPenney is shutting down another round of stores, and this Memorial Day weekend marks your last chance to shop at seven locations across the U.S. As confirmed by USA Today, the longtime department store will permanently close stores in California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and West Virginia on Sunday, May 25. These stores are offering final clearance sales through the weekend, giving shoppers one final opportunity to score major deals before the doors shut for move is part of JCPenney's ongoing restructuring plan that dates back to its bankruptcy filing in May 2020. Back then, the company announced it would close 200 of its 850 stores as it looked for ways to stay afloat during the pandemic. After that, JCPenney was purchased by Simon Property Group and Brookfield Asset to USA Today, these are the seven JCPenney stores officially closing on Sunday, May 25, 2025:Each of these locations will hold their final sales through Memorial Day weekend, offering deep discounts on remaining inventory before closing has been closing stores in waves since its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing back in May 2020. The pandemic hit traditional retailers hard, and JCPenney was no exception. In the months after filing, the company announced that 200 stores—nearly one-quarter of its locations—would be shut then, the brand has been trying to reinvent itself. Even though it was rescued by real estate giants Simon Property Group and Brookfield Asset Management, store closures have continued slowly but steadily. In February 2025, JCPenney confirmed more stores would close by mid-year, although no specific list was released at that time. These seven closures appear to be part of that this year, JCPenney announced a surprising move—partnering with Forever 21 to create a new fashion-focused entity called Catalyst Brands. This new group will also include Brooks Brothers, Aéropostale, Lucky Brand, Nautica, and Eddie company has stated these store closures are unrelated to the new venture. Still, the timing has led to speculation that JCPenney may be shifting its focus away from traditional mall locations toward more digital or brand-collaborative struggles reflect a much broader trend in American retail. With more shoppers turning to online platforms and avoiding malls, brick-and-mortar retailers have taken a hit. Add to that the challenges of inflation, rising prices, and the cost of living, and it's easy to see why stores are scaling isn't alone. Other major chains such as Joann Fabrics, Macy's, Party City, Big Lots, Walgreens, and even some 7-Eleven locations have closed stores or filed for bankruptcy recently. The retail landscape is shifting fast, and not all brands are keeping you live near one of the seven stores mentioned, this Memorial Day weekend is yourbefore the doors close for good. The official last day to shop is. Expect major markdowns as each store clears out its are advised to visit early, as inventory may run low. These final days often bring long lines, limited selection, and no returns—so plan these closures, JCPenney continues to operate hundreds of stores across the country and has expressed confidence in its long-term future. The Catalyst Brands partnership signals a shift in strategy, potentially blending classic department store offerings with trendier, fast-fashion with changing consumer behavior and ongoing economic pressure, the path ahead isn't guaranteed. Whether JCPenney can truly reinvent itself in the modern retail world remains to be now, though, Memorial Day weekend marks the end of the line for these seven stores—and for shoppers, one final chance at clearance JCPenney stores in seven U.S. states will close permanently on Sunday, May 25, continues to shut stores due to lower foot traffic and major shifts in shopping behavior.

27 Inexpensive Things To Add Some "Oompf" To Your 2025
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · You don't need to pay full price to feel more luxurious. 1. A pair of retro oval sunglasses similar to the Celine pair that are just a *tad* bit too expensive to justify buying (okay, they're actually way out of our 2025 budget). But don't worry, these look just like them, and they'll still protect you from UVA and UVB rays while making you look like a celeb. Promising review: "Love these. I get compliments on them all the time, and people always ask me where I got them from. Quality is great for the price, and they look like they would be expensive. Super stylish and good for sun protection, too. Highly recommend!" — Maggie Get a pair from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight colors). 2. Or a pair of rounded rectangle sunglasses that'll even make Donatella Versace do a double take and wonder where you got them. The eye-catching gold detailing on the sides and the included lens wipe have reviewers saying they are going to buy these again in different colors. Promising review: "I bought these for a vacation and they did not disappoint. So lux and high quality. They are also durable ! 10/10" — Amani Brockett Get them from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 12 colors). 3. A chunky knit chenille throw blanket to add a bit of texture to your living space. It doesn't shed, is machine washable, AND is 100% handmade. If you need me, I'll just be imagining I'm royalty in my own living room with this blanket. Promising review: "This FAR exceeded my expectations! What I received for what I paid was so well worth it. I went to JC Penny's the following day and saw a smaller and not even soft version of this for 20 dollars more. It was crappy compared to this luxurious blanket! I am so happy with this purchase that I am going to get another one. Nothing beats the quality, feel and price of this blanket!" — Angelique Lovell Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four sizes and 13 colors). 4. A faux leather bag featuring magnetic closures to make it extra wide to fit all of the day's necessities and more. Reviewers rave about how this looks just like the Polène Cyme bag. It's big enough to fit a water bottle, an iPad, and books and even comes with a small zipper pouch for your smaller items that always get lost at the bottom of your purse. Promising review: "I bought this bag looking for something similar to 'that one brand' that was affordable. This bag is absolutely gorgeous and looks identical. When I opened the box, it smelt a bit weird, but I took a leather cleaner/conditioner to the bag with a microfiber cloth, and it no longer smelt, and she looked nice and shiny. It took me a while to figure out how to organize my things as it is a unique shape, but once it was organized, I loved it." — lisa keegan Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in nine colors and two sizes). 5. A wall-mounted towel rack to make it feel like you're living in a day spa that has perfectly rolled towels at your service. You can store large towels and washcloths and easily access them near the shower entrance without doing a dripping wet dance to the linen closet because you forgot to put out a towel. Promising review: "I've tried many different towel storages and nothing was as good as this towel rack. It looks nice on the wall — not tacky or ugly and goes with the aesthetics of my home. The towel rack is durable and sturdy. It works well with regular-size bath towels. I roll my towels up into little rolls and can fit up to 10 bath towels. I've also tried folding them and placing them in that way, and they fit well that way as well." — Niki Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in three colors). 6. A glass carafe with matching glass meant to replace all those wasteful plastic water bottles and give a more stylish look to your hydration station (aka your bedside table). For less than $30, this investment is definitely worth it. Promising review: "This looks so much better than keeping a plastic bottle of water on the night stand. This is also reducing my use of plastic. It's really pretty and so convenient for a drink in the middle of the night and for taking my night meds. Perfect for a guest room too. Little touches like this that make your guest feel welcome are always nice." — CG Get it from Amazon for $21.89+ (available in three styles). 7. An RFID-blocking travel wallet big enough to hold your passport, IDs, credit cards, money, plane ticket, and even a sim card! This wallet not only protects your important items, it's also elegant enough that you might just use this as your everyday wallet or use it as a clutch for a fancy dinner. Promising review: "I wanted an RFID wallet for travel purposes and after researching different options, this had the best reviews. I ordered this in coral orange and it's stunning. It looks more pastel pink, but the color that's shown in the preview is almost exact. There's enough room for everything. I tested it with my passport inside and it doesn't feel bulky at all. I'm avid on being stylish while I travel and this wallet definitely allows me to do that. The color options are impressive and the wallet itself is great quality." — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 30 colors). 8. A knit short-sleeve shirt that'll makes it seem like business casual is the only dress code you know for 2025. The V-neck, ribbed detailing, and collar elevate what would be just a normal short-sleeve T-shirt, and reviewers say they love how the material is higher quality than expected. Amazon Promising review:"This shirt is soooo cute. Looks and feels amazing. I think the price is super reasonable for how expensive it feels." — King Pamme Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 16 colors). 9. Or a sleeveless knit sweater vest, which looks like it was borrowed out of Sofia Richie's (aka this generation's queen of quiet luxury) closet. The striped vest will keep you comfortable and can be dressed up or down depending on your luxurious or relaxed plans for the week. Promising review: "Looks wayyyyy expensive than it is. The details are amazing with the buttons and the finishing. Also the material is excellent. Definitely get it. The X-Large here came just right not tight and not wide just the right amount of fabric love it." — hanana Get it from Amazon for $25.98 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 10 colors). 10. An oversize square ice cube tray perfect for dressing up an afternoon cocktail or just your everyday glass of water. These ice cubes melt slower than standard-sized ice cubes and will make you feel like an at-home bartender.

These trays also come with lids so that you don't have to worry about spills or leaks while you put them in the freezer. Promising review: "A nice way to spice up your average cocktail, these keep your drink cold while also being stylish." — Jenn Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in five colors). 11. A beautiful tennis bracelet giving a sparkling touch of sophistication for less than $20. This 14-karat gold-plated bracelet looks way more expensive than you paid for and has a durable clasp so you can wear it all day every day. Promising review: "This bracelet is gorgeous! It really looks like real diamonds. I chose rose gold and if this holds up well, I will have to order another in silver. It's really nice that they offer a few different size options, I rarely see that. From reading the reviews, I saw some complaints about the clasp but, I think it's nice. It's very secure so there's no chance of it coming off." — Sarah Downs Get it from Amazon for $19.45+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 12. A pair of metallic kitchen scissors so fancy that they look like they should be cutting a big ribbon for a grand opening of a store. These dishwasher-safe shears are perfect for cutting chicken, red meat, vegetables, and even have additional features like a bottle opener and serrated edge. Amazon Promising review:"These are no joke and a huge upgrade from the plastic handle ones I had prior. They are heavy, like "sheesh, these are so heavy, they must be expensive, heavy" which is exactly what I wanted. Also they are sharp and solid and appear forged vs stamped steel. When I say sharp, I mean the "slice through wrapping paper without needing to chomp, sharp". I will say that because they appear to be ambidextrous, they are slightly less comfy than dedicated righty or lefty scissors, but a small price to pay for a good pair of kitchen shears." — B Lipton Get them from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in five colors). 13. A pair of Steve Madden H strap sandals perfect for a trip to Europe or if you just want to switch out the plain thong flip flops for a more sophisticated look. You'll be sure to shock everyone when you tell them they aren't Hermès (gasp!). Promising review: "I bought these because they were not the overpriced Hermes version, yet had higher build quality than Target's [version] of the Hermes shoes. I like that these Steve Madden ones are made of leather, yet are in an affordable price range. They run a little narrow, but they did conform to my feet after a couple wears. No break-in issues, like blisters. The sandals are versatile and can be dressed up or down. I am mostly wearing them to work." — Lauren C Get them from Amazon for $59+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in 24 colors). 14. A pair of statement teardrop earrings for a fashion-forward twist on the classic hoop. Contrary to how chunky they look, reviewers say they are so lightweight and a comfortable staple to their earring collection. Plus, they come with two different backing options (great if you always somehow lose them around the house like me). Promising review: "My outfits suddenly become more sophisticated and confident due to the exquisite design and bright sheen. All-day comfort is guaranteed by the lightweight feel, and my mind is at ease because of the sturdy design. I now always carry these earrings in my jewelry collection, whether it's for a special occasion or just to add some sparkle to my everyday outfit. Not only are they accessories, but they also make a sophisticated and classic statement. 100% would recommend!" — Nolan Get a pair from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 11 colors). 15. A Smeg-like, but not Smeg priced electric kettle featuring a thermometer to get the water to the exact temperature for your extra hot pourover coffee or your soothing cup of tea. And, this too has the automatic shutoff. Promising review: "I really like the appearance of this one. The overall design is very simple and has a little retro style. It is also good to use. The body of this kettle is made of 304 stainless steel, which is food contact grade, which is relatively safe and hygienic. It can boil water very quickly, without wasting time, and it is not easy to burn your hands when pouring water. Then this kettle also has anti-dry boiling and overheating protection functions. It will be safer and more secure to use. There is a real-time thermometer on the body of the kettle, which can easily see the water temperature. It is very good. I like it very much." — Evan Get it from Amazon for $58.89+ (available in five colors). 16. A skinny leather belt that is really more for style than function, but oh does it pull together an outfit. The gold horsebit buckle makes it easy to take on and off, and the adjustable sliding strap in the back is great for switching from a high-waisted to a low-waisted look. Promising review: "Easy and classy belt, looks so much more expensive than it actually is — so many people at work complimented me about them and said they look designer and/or bought them immediately." — Arytenoid Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in three sizes: for waists below 37", 42", and 52"; and in 22 colors). 17. A reed diffuser just like the ones you see at the fancy hotel bathrooms that make you say, "Ooh even the bathrooms smell nice!" Each scent comes with a different set of preserved flowers that makes this as aesthetic as it is functional. Promising review: "The White Jasmine scent smells beautifully! It is not too overpowering, but strong enough to be noticed and appreciated. This is a perfect addition to our guest bathroom which adds a touch of elegance. So far the 6.7oz size diffuser is still measuring up to three-quarters full after using this product for 10 days now. Excellent value for the money. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase! Highly recommended!!!" — Joy Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 13 scents). 18. A vintage-inspired watch if the Apple watch just isn't doing it for you anymore. The fold-over clasp keeps the watch secure, and the adjustable links allow for the perfect fit. And if you still rely on a digital clock to know what time it is, this can just be an elegant accessory. Promising review: "This is stunning watch very easy to adjust to your arm it came with all the tools. It fit perfectly. It is a great price for the amazing vintage gold. Easy to manage and use. Quality is excellent and durable" — Derik Ferland and wife Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 19. Or, a gold Apple compatible wristband to give you the best of both worlds in terms of style and keeping the cool features of your Apple watch. Plus, it comes with a tool for adjusting the links to your wrist size. It might not be a Rolex, but I gotta say this is pretty snazzy. This band is compatible with Apple watch SE all Series 1–9. Also Compatible with the Apple Watch 38mm, 40mm-45mm, and 49mm. Promising review: "It's a little big but was able to take the links off myself and size it properly. It gives expensive, chic and the perfect touch to my everyday look. I've had it for almost a month & it hasn't tarnished yet." — Alexis Flores Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two sizes and nine colors). 20. A Kitsch satin pillowcase because in 2025, we want a splendid sleep experience that's also good for our hair and skin! These are just so silky smooth that you'll want to enjoy this luxury — quietly, in bed, and asleep. Promising review:"I recently purchased a Kitsch silk pillowcase, and it has exceeded all my expectations! The quality of the silk is incredibly soft and luxurious, providing a wonderfully smooth surface that has noticeably reduced frizz and bedhead in my hair. The playful and stylish design adds a fun touch to my bedroom decor, making bedtime feel like a treat. It's also been gentle on my skin, helping to keep it hydrated and free from creases. Overall, this pillowcase combines comfort, style, and practical benefits in a delightful way. Highly recommended!" — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in sizes king and queen and in 43 colors). 21. A pair of modern wall sconces that will literally light up your life for the new year and make your living space très chic.

You're able to choose from two heat settings and can easily detach the brush head and store it in the included bag for when you're on the go. Promising review: "I have super thick and curly hair that I was not sure would be compatible with this device. I was hesitant because I saw it all over tik tok but could rarely find someone with my hair texture using this. I decided to buy it here on Amazon instead and I am glad that I did! My hair came out gorgeous and I got a lot of compliments from people. My biggest piece of advice to people who have thick and curly hair is to do much smaller sections at a time when doing your hair. It has better outcomes each time." — Tatiana Apelu Promising review: "I ordered this for my mom who had a hard time achieving that salon blow out look. This works like a charm for her!! Came with the thermal glove and a little comb like cleaning tool to remove the hair from the brush. Super easy to use! Highly recommend. Great quality." — Morgan Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors). 23. A textured MacBook case that fulfills your coastal grandma aesthetic, but also protects your already expensive laptop while making it look more elegant than other plastic covers.

Promising review: "My daughters and I love to travel in style. Very aesthetically pleasing. This set of luggage is so our style. Great quality. So lightweight and so easy to maneuver. Even with 50 lbs of items, it moves so lightly and without effort. Perfect for those times when you have to run to your gate. It definitely will not hold you back. I have received so many compliments. Absolutely satisfied with this purchase." — Liz Barrera Get it from Amazon for $189.99 (available in seven colors). 26. A handmade ribbed candlestick so pretty that you probably won't even want to light it. Whether you use it as decor or actually end up lighting it, this candle needs no extra candle holder and gives a soft touch of elegance to your humble abode. La Aroma Candle Co/Etsy This small-business makes hand poured soy candles in Los Angeles, CA and the candles are cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and petroleum-free. Get it from La Aroma Candle Co on Etsy for $27.88+ (available in two sizes and 20 scents). 27.

Hadley felon indicted for illegal possession of ammunition and explosives
HADLEY, Mass. (WWLP) – A federal grand jury in Springfield indicted a Hadley man on Tuesday for the alleged possession of explosives and ammunition while convicted as a felon. Charging documents stated that on April 8, 2025, law enforcement searched the home of 43-year-old Jacob D. Miller of Hadley. They found approximately 50 rounds of Federal brand .45 auto 230 grain ammunition, six firearms, explosive materials, hazardous chemicals, and radioactive materials including plutonium. Two women arrested after shoplifting at Hadley JC Penny Evidence presented at Miller's detention hearing following this search alleged that Miller had a long-standing obsession with explosives and radioactive substances since at least 2002. During that year, police searched his prior residence and found blasting caps, bomb-making instructions, military equipment, a rocket launcher, and a homemade pipe bomb. They also found a video of Miller igniting several of these explosive devices, including one he referred to as a 'hand grenade.' Miller was convicted in February 2004 in Hampshire Superior Court of two counts of possession of an explosive device and sentenced to two and a half years in jail and ten years of probation. In a separate case, he was also convicted of one count of possession of child pornography and sentenced to seven years of probation. Due to his prior convictions, Miller is prohibited from possessing any firearms, ammunition, or explosives. Court records stated that while still on probation in 2014, Miller received a cease-and-desist letter from the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program after they found he was selling depleted uranium on eBay. While Miller claimed he stopped these activities, he allegedly launched an online business called 'Collect the Periodic Table,' where he sold radioactive materials, including Plutonium-239, which he had allegedly derived from Cold War-era Soviet smoke detectors. Between June and October of 2023, Miller also allegedly sold plutonium at least five times via PayPal, and additional plutonium sale records were recovered during the 2025 search. Court records further stated that in 2023, Miller allegedly had an associate purchase five pounds of hazardous black powder on his behalf and ship it to his Hadley residence. Witnesses reported that Miller allegedly used the powder to ignite a fireball and blow up a dishwasher in his backyard. Remnants of the shipment and multiple opened bottles of black powder were also found during this year's search. The numerous hazardous substances seized from Miller's home included fuels, alkali metals, acids, and toxic elements such as arsenic. MassDEP warns that these materials pose a significant danger to occupants and first responders, and the court ordered that MassDEP conduct a safety evaluation and oversee the removal of all materials from the residence. Miller was convicted on Tuesday of one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition and one count of being a felon in possession of explosive materials. He currently remains in federal custody as the court has taken pretrial detention under advisement.
