Eight children, ranging in age from about 1 year old to 14, were murdered in a domestic-related mass shooting that unfolded across at least two homes in the Cedar Grove area of Shreveport, Louisiana, according to police statements.
What is known so far is devastating. Police said 10 people were shot in total early Sunday, and all eight of the dead were children. Two women were critically wounded, and another child was injured while trying to escape. The suspected gunman, described by officials as an adult man with family ties to some of the victims, fled the scene, carjacked another vehicle and was later killed by police after a pursuit. Authorities have said the violence appears to have grown out of a domestic dispute.
