WKRG News is reporting that a couple with 16 kids, Byrd and Melanie Billings, have been found dead in their Florida home, in what police are saying was a home invasion.
The couple had 16 children, 12 of them adopted, and they were known in the community for helping kids with disabilities and troubled backgrounds.
Police were called out to the home of the couple in the 9700 block of Mobil Highway around 8pm last night. All the children were at home at the time of the shooting but none of them are hurt.
When they arrived, deputies say they found a man and woman dead in the bedroom of their home in the Beulah community. Both had been shot.
Police are looking to question three men in a red van about the shootings.
