This week on All the Damn Crime, we're covering two breaking stories involving devastating acts of violence against families.

First, we head to Montana, where 44-year-old Alan Michael Smith allegedly opened fire on his own family during a gathering near Billings, killing eight relatives—including four children—before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Smith had reportedly been asked to leave his parents' home weeks earlier, but authorities have not established that as a motive. 

Then we turn to Oregon, where authorities say Benjamin Parker allegedly killed his girlfriend, members of her family, and friends in a quintuple homicide before fleeing to Washington, where he was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators say Parker had recently been involved in a serious fight with his girlfriend and had been told to leave the property. 

And because no episode of All the Damn Crime stays in one lane, we'll also discuss some true crime-adjacent stories, including the horrific crimes of Ronald Gene Simmons and the bizarre and infamous Enumclaw horse case.
