The victims represented four generations of the blended family, ranging from a great-grandmother in her 90s who used a wheelchair to a 7-year-old girl.

A motive in the incident in Billings wasn’t immediately provided. Police said they were withholding the identities of the dead for now.

A man who killed eight of his relatives, including four children, as they gathered for Sunday dinner at a home in Montana had been asked to move out of the residence weeks earlier.
