GRANTSVILLE — Funeral arrangements have been announced for four members of a Grantsville family tragically killed in a mass shooting inside their home.
Funeral services for Consuelo Alejandra Haynie, 52, and three of her five children — 15-year-old Alexis Haynie, 14-year-old Matthew Haynie and 12-year-old Milan Haynie — will be held Friday at noon at the Grantsville Stake Center, 550 E. Durfee St. The services will be preceded by a viewing at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at the Grantsville City Cemetery.
A partial obituary was posted Tuesday by Didericksen Memorial.
“Our sincerest and most heartfelt condolences go to the Haynie family and all those affected by this tragedy. We are grateful to be a part of this community and witness all of your love and support for them,” the mortuary based in Grantsville stated.
On Friday, the four members of the Haynie family were shot and killed in their home at 93 Eastmoor Drive. A fifth person, Colin Haynie, 50, the father of the family, was shot in the leg but survived. The couple’s oldest son, Danny Haynie, 24, was away at Utah Valley University when the shooting occurred.
The 16-year-old brother of the other victims was arrested at the hospital where he and his father were driven by a third person who is not related to the family and who called 911 about 7 p.m. Friday after going to the house.
