KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Authorities say a 50-year-old man has been sentenced to three life terms and another 105 years for fatally shooting a mother, son and family friend at a Kansas City house.

Anthony Walker of Kansas City was sentenced Thursday for killing 62-year-old Donna Pike and her 41-year-old son Herschel Pike while robbing their home. Fifty-seven-year-old Edward Williams was shot when he went to the home to check on the Pikes and interrupted the crime.

Besides the sentences for first-degree burglary, first-degree murder and armed criminal action, he also faces a 30-year sentence in federal prison for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
