A 31-year-old man from Louisiana, later identified as Shamar Elkins, reportedly murdered his seven biological children and another child during the early morning hours of Sunday. Ahead of the tragedy, Elkins shared a series of posts on his Facebook account, referencing his battle with depression.
Elkins' children, with ages ranging from 1 to 14 years old, were not his only victims. He also shot two women in the head during his rampage, and one of them is fighting for her life at a hospital near Shreveport.
