All,
Terrible news out of Montana as at least 8 victims, including children, died at a Billings home that burned down after arriving Firefighters were met with gunfire Sunday. They are reported as a Firefighter’s family-and he was at work at the time of the murders.
The incident began as a family disturbance and during the initial 911 call to the residence at 315 White Star Circle, gunshots could be heard in the background. When Billings Firefighters arrived at the scene, they encountered gunfire, which prevented them from conducting normal suppression efforts. Additionally, due to a lack of fire hydrants in the area, firefighters were forced to shuttle water and were able to prevent the spread of the fire to other homes.
A man was discovered outside the home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, was taken to a hospital and later died.
FIREFIGHTER LOSES WIFE, KIDS & OTHERS
It is reported that Firefighter Adam Ghekiere’s two children with his ex-wife – Landon, 15, and 12-year-old Charlotte – both tragically perished. His current wife Megan and his stepchildren – Owen, 13, and Chloe, 7 – also died alongside a 92-year-old wheelchair-bound woman who was their great-grandparent. Two other not yet identified family members were also killed by the gunman. The shooter torched the property after opening fire on those inside and then killed himself.
Ghekiere is an Airport Rescue Firefighter who was working at the time of the shooting and said his kids wouldn’t have normally visited their grandparents on a Sunday evening. He was at an airshow and when he heard on the Fire department communications radio system there was an unfolding incident in the area where his wife’s parents lived, he instantly feared the worst.
More details below.
Our heartfelt condolences to Firefighter Ghekiere and all those affected by this horrible loss.
