A late Saturday afternoon in rural North Canaan, Connecticut, ended in deadly violence on September 19, 2015. Brian Johnson, 55, a retired Connecticut State Police dispatcher who had worked 27 years at Troop B and retired in 2013 to care for his elderly parents, was shot and killed at his home on Mountain View Lane. Two other men were critically wounded in the same incident.

The sequence began about 5 p.m. in nearby Sheffield, Massachusetts, where officers responded to reports of an argument and shots fired on Davis Lane; those involved had left before police arrived. At roughly 5:38 p.m., multiple 911 calls reported a shooting at the Mountain View Lane residence. Troopers found three men with gunshot wounds. Authorities identified Brian’s brother, 51-year-old Bruce Johnson of Sheffield, as the person responsible; Bruce was discovered with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was airlifted to Hartford Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Their 55-year-old cousin, Anthony Carrubba of Sheffield, also suffered life-threatening wounds and was taken to a local hospital. Detectives from the Western District Major Crime Squad investigated and stated there were no other suspects and no ongoing threat to the public.
