NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) _ Some residents of a North Dakota

reservation say they are frustrated with the lack of information

surrounding the deaths earlier this week of a grandmother and her

three grandchildren.

Killed on Sunday were 64-year-old Martha Johnson and three of

her grandchildren: 13-year-old Benjamin Schuster, 10-year-old Julia

Schuster and 6-year-old Luke Schuster. A man who killed himself the

same day as the shootings has been described as a person of

interest.

Because the slayings occurred on a reservation, the FBI has been

leading the investigation. And FBI spokesman Kyle Loven says it is

department policy not to release information during an ongoing

investigation.

Some community members have grown frustrated with the lack of

information and the rumors swirling.
