A man drove his car into a family walking near Glacier National Park in Montana on Sunday before shooting at them with a shotgun, killing a toddler and one other person.
The alleged gunman, Derick Madden, 37, was killed by one of his intended targets, 30-year-old Christina Siau, a woman who authorities say previously had a relationship with Madden. David Siau, 39, and his 18-month-old daughter McKenzie were killed in the attack, which occurred on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana, according to the Glacier County Sheriff’s Office. The child was being held by her mother, 40-year-old Christy Siau, who was also shot and critically injured.
“Derrick Amos Madden, 37, of Goldsby, Oklahoma, purposely drove his vehicle into a group of people who were walking beside the roadway. After crashing his vehicle into a tree, Madden exited his vehicle armed with a shotgun. Madden began shooting at the same victims he had just hit or attempted to hit,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement released on Tuesday.
“During this attack Christina fought for her life and despite receiving critical injuries, fatally wounded Madden,” the sheriff’s office said.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER“The investigation continues and detectives are working tirelessly to find all the details and circumstances surrounding this horrific event,” the sheriff’s office said.
