Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Infobox civilian attack The 2020 Williamsburg massacre was an incident of mass murder and arson on December 8, 2020, in Williamsburg, West Virginia, United States. 25-year-old Oreanna Myers shot and killed five children, aged between one and seven, with a shotgun before setting her house on fire and committing suicide. Myers was the biological mother of three of the children, and the stepmother of the other two.[1]

Incident

At around 2:30 p.m. (EST) on December 8, 2020, in Williamsburg, West Virginia, 25-year-old Oreanna Myers was seen picking up two of her children from a bus stop.[1] She shot all five of her children with a .410 single-shot shotgun before setting their two-story house on fire in an act of arson. Myers then left the building and fatally shot herself outside, where her body was found alongside the shotgun near a picnic table.[2]

911 was alerted of the property on fire at 3:30 p.m., and fire crews arrived at 3:50 p.m. to find the home badly damaged. Myers' body was found just before 4:30 p.m. along the home's south side.[1]

Myers' husband, Brian Bumgarner, had been away from the home at various times across a 10-day period before the incident. This was due to a recent car accident which made him decide to stay with other family members so he could get rides to work.[2]

Three handwritten suicide notes were found in their car, one of which was a confession to the murder of all five children and her suicide.[1]
