Shreveport Mass Shooting Kills Eight, Including Seven of the Gunman's Children

A Shreveport man, 31-year-old Shamar Elkins, fatally shot eight children—seven of them his own—and critically wounded two women, including his wife, across two houses before dying in a police shootout; the victims ranged from ages 3 to 11, and one child survived after jumping from a roof, with investigators saying the attack stemmed from a domestic dispute and it ranks among the deadliest U.S. mass shootings in years.
