Eight die in Billings dinner shooting and house fire, Montana tragedy

A Billings, Montana man killed eight relatives—four of them children—during a Sunday dinner, then died by a self-inflicted gunshot as the home burned. The victims, spanning four generations, included the shooter’s ex-wife and her children; authorities said the suspect had been asked to move out by his parents. The fire destroyed the house, and the incident is being treated as a murder-suicide after the shooter self-terminated. The tragedy comes amid the year’s ongoing mass-killing tally.
