Hundreds of mourners have gathered for the funeral of three family members killed in a New Year's Eve shooting at a New Jersey home that claimed the lives of four people.

Monday's funeral for Steven and Linda Kologi and their 18-year-old daughter, Brittany, was held at St. Jerome Roman Catholic Church in West Long Branch. It came two days after mourners had gathered there to remember the fourth victim, 70-year-old Mary Schulz.

Monmouth County prosecutors say the Kologis' 16-year-old son shot the victims at close range with a semi-automatic rifle in their Long Branch home. But they haven't disclosed a motive for the shooting.

Schulz was the longtime partner of Steven Kologi's father, who also was in the house but escaped unharmed with two other people.
