Montana Home Massacre Claims Eight Lives | Charleston News

A Montana home erupted in flames and gunfire during a family dinner, claiming eight lives—including four children—in what’s now the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. since April. The shooter, 44-year-old Alan Smith, a family member, allegedly acted weeks after being asked to leave his parents’ home. Among the victims: Smith’s parents, his ex-wife Megan Ghekiere, her kids Owen and Chloe Ireland, and her stepchildren Landon and Charlotte Ghekiere—whose desperate 911 call from inside the burning house became a haunting final plea. Authorities are still recovering remains amid the wreckage, withholding full victim names to preserve the investigation.
