Tragedy in Billings: Family Destroyed in Home Attack | Global News
Description
In a devastating massacre in Billings, Montana, Alan Smith killed eight family members—including four children—during a Sunday dinner, before taking his own life. The victims spanned four generations, from a 90-year-old woman to a 7-year-old girl. Smith, who had recently been asked to move out by his parents, returned home and opened fire, then set the house on fire. Twelve-year-old Charlotte Ghekiere is being called a hero for calling 911 and trying to save her family. Though Smith had no criminal record, relatives say warning signs were ignored as he grew increasingly reclusive. The community is reeling from the loss, and investigators continue to probe the tragic circumstances.
