SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Two people were killed when a private jet crashed into a residential neighborhood in northern Indiana and damaged three homes, becoming lodged in one of them, authorities said.

The Beechcraft Premier I twin-jet flying out of Tulsa, Okla., hit the homes Sunday afternoon, heavily damaging the last one where the craft's cracked tail and fuselage could be seen hanging from the side.

Two of four people aboard the plane were killed, Federal Aviation spokesman Roland Herwig said. The other two people aboard were injured, as was one person on the ground, South Bend Assistant Fire Chief John Corthier said late Sunday.
