The deaths of three people east of Bozeman on Friday evening has been ruled a murder-suicide.

Gallatin County sheriff's deputies found the bodies of Joe and Jen Knarr and their 6-month-old son, Daniel, at their residence, 341 Golden Trout Way, in Gallatin County.

Evidence at the scene showed that Jen Knarr, who had reportedly been suffering from postpartum depression, shot her husband in the back of the head, next shot her baby and then turned the gun on herself.

Deputies responded to the home after an emergency dispatcher received a call from the residence at about 5 p.m. According to a news release from Gallatin County Sheriff Brian Gootkin, the dispatcher recognized the number as belonging to Joe Knarr, a warden sergeant for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. Jen Knarr, also was a FWP warden.

The dispatcher made several attempts to reach the couple by phone, but got no response. The door to the residence was locked, so one of the deputies looked inside a window and saw the legs of a person lying on the floor.
