Sheriff: Multiple People Dead Following Fire and Shooting at Billings Home
One person was hospitalized and the entire block was evacuated as police and fire crews investigated a shots-fired call at the home, officials said.
- Multiple people died at a Billings West End home after responders were met with gunfire Sunday evening, authorities said Monday. The incident occurred at 315 White Star Circle.
- Interim Yellowstone County Sheriff Kent O'Donnell said the incident began as a family disturbance, and during the initial 911 call to the residence, gunshots were audible in the background.
- Due to a lack of fire hydrants in the area, firefighters were forced to haul water using trucks, as Billings Fire Chief Matt Hoppel noted that gunfire prevented normal suppression efforts.
- A man found outside the home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound died at the hospital, according to Billings Assistant Police Chief Shawn Mayo. Residents have been allowed to return on a house-by-house basis.
- Sheriff O'Donnell described the situation as 'a very, very complex investigation' and said he was 'deeply saddened' after speaking with family members. Victims include multiple adults and children; additional details expected Wednesday.
