The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has released more information about the three adults and three children killed last week in an apparent murder-suicide in a Marion County home that was set on fire.
The alleged shooter was identified as Gary Don Barnett, 48, and the adult victims were identified as his estranged wife Regina Ann Barnett, 52, and her daughter, Brittnee N. Perez, 33.
The three children found in the home were identified as Perez’s children, two girls and a boy aged 11, 6 and 2, respectively. The 6-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy were both due to have birthdays Friday.
The bodies of all six were found throughout the home, Marion County Sheriff Ronnie “Bo” Burnett previously told the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The adults and at least one of the children had apparent gunshot wounds, he said.
Another man was shot multiple times but survived. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment and is cooperating with investigators, Burnett said.
