Louisiana man kills 7 of his children, another child in mass shooting
A gunman in the southern US state of Louisiana killed eight children, including seven of his own, and shot two other people before being killed by police, authorities have said.The victims of the attack, which was carried out across two houses in Shreveport on Sunday morning, ranged in age from one to about 12 years old, said Shreveport Police Department spokesperson Chris Bordelon.
One of the adults wounded was the mother of the suspect’s children.
The suspect, whom Bordelon identified as Shamar Elkins, died after a police pursuit.
Officers fired at the suspect during a chase after he carjacked a vehicle at gunpoint, Bordelon said.
Investigators did not say what may have set off the violence.
Bordelon said there was still much to investigate, but that detectives were confident the shooting was “entirely a domestic incident”.
The mass shooting is the worst the US has seen in more than two years.
