LORAIN, Ohio - Police in Lorain said the woman who killed two brothers turned herself in to authorities Thursday night.

According to Lorain police, Donna Brown, 24, shot and killed brothers, Justin Linder, 22, and Dale Linder, 20, at their home on W. 23rd Street early Thursday morning. Brown is their cousin.
