Jamarckus Snow told NBC News that his cousin, Christina Snow, was one of the two women who were shot and injured early on Sunday when a gunman opened fire on his family in Shreveport. Police described the shooting as a “violent domestic incident” in which 31-year-old Shamar Elkins fatally shot eight children – including seven of his children and a cousin.
