WARSAW (AP) — Three children gunned down in their grandmother's home in New Town are being laid to rest.

Funerals are scheduled Thursday in the northeastern North Dakota community of Warsaw for 13-year-old Benjamin Schuster, 10-year-old Julia Schuster and 6-year-old Luke Schuster. They were found shot to death in New Town on Nov. 18, along with their 64-year-old grandmother, Martha Johnson.

Johnson's funeral was held Monday in the Fort Berthold Reservation community.

A New Town man who killed himself in the nearby town of Parshall the day of the slayings is considered a person of interest in the case. The FBI is handling the investigation and has not released details.
