Current understanding

One report says a man killed eight relatives in a Montana gun attack, while other reports say a Montana man killed 8 relatives at Sunday dinner, according to family accounts. The reports also differ on whether the victims included 4 kids, with two sources stating that detail and one source not mentioning it. [1][2][3]

All three headlines attribute the account to family or a family spokesperson rather than presenting it as independently verified information. [2][3]
