Banks had been in prison since 1982 after shooting 14 people, and killing 13, including his own children, during a rampage in Wilkes-Barre. At time, it was considered one of the worst mass murders in American history. He was convicted of 12 counts of first-degree murder and one count of third-degree murder. Banks had been drinking at a party late at night before using an AR-15 rifle to start the rampage at his home.

Montana attorney general Austin Knudsen identified the four mass murder victims as Daniel Edwin Ballie, Nancy Lauretta Kelly, David Allen Leach, and Tony Wayne Palm, all residents of Anaconda.
