Montana family dinner turns deadly as eight die, including four children
Eight relatives were killed, including four children, when Alan Smith, the brother of Megan Ireland-Ghekiere, returned to a Montana home for a family dinner and opened fire; the victims span four generations—Dana and Barbara Smith, Megan Ireland-Ghekiere and her children Owen, Chloe, Landon and Charlotte, plus Evelyn Smith. Charlotte dialed 911 before the house caught fire, and responders battled a blaze as investigators described the crime as complex and ongoing. GoFundMe pages have been set up for the surviving family, and the community is left in shock.
