Police were called to the house in Billings just after 6 p.m. Sunday after reports of a shooting and a family disturbance, reported the Billings Gazette.<\/p>\n

Just three minutes later, the home was engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n

No motive was publicly available as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Billings Police Department told The Post: \u201cAt this time we have not released a number nor any names involved. Obviously with social media rumors spread and unverified information is put out.\u201d<\/p>\n
