Lesley Vogel, the mother of actress Hayden Panettiere, claims the late star's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson pawned her possessions, adding fresh allegations to a relationship already marked by multiple domestic violence arrests.

A gunman opened fire inside a Billings, Montana home on Sunday evening, killing at least eight people, including a 12-year-old girl and her 15-year-old brother, before the house was set ablaze and the suspected killer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
