Grieving Adam Ghekiere lost his daughter Charlotte, 12, son Landon, 15, wife Megan, his two stepchildren, Chloe, 7, and Owen, 13, and their 92-year-old wheelchair-bound great-grandmother, as well as two other family members in the tragic mass shooting, The U.S. Sun reported after speaking with the heartbroken dad.<\/p>\n

Ghekiere was working at an airshow as a rescue firefighter Sunday evening when he heard on the communications system that an incident was unfolding close to where his in-laws live in Billings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried calling the house and no one answered. I checked my kids\u2019 locations, both Landon and Charlotte, and no one answered,\u201d he told The U.S. Sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time we got to the house, they wouldn\u2019t let us get any closer because it was still under an active shooter status. I feared the worst right then,\u201d he went on.<\/p>\n

Ghekiere claimed the killer, who took his own life after shooting up the house, is a member of his family who had begun harboring a grudge toward his parents.<\/p>\n
