A 44-year-old Wisconsin man was sentenced Tuesday to more than 200 years in prison, plus another 105 years of extended supervision, after pleading guilty in June to fatally shooting five members of his family, according to a report.

Christopher Stokes of Milwaukee reportedly called 911 himself after the shootings on April 27, 2020, FOX 6 of Milwaukee reported.

"Um, I just massacred my whole family," Stokes reportedly told a 911 dispatcher. "The gun is still upstairs with the bodies. … I just killed my whole family with my Mossberg."

Stokes made two calls after 10:30 a.m. that morning and was seated on the steps outside the house when authorities arrived, according to FOX 6. He quickly told them what he had done, the report said.
