Shreveport mass shooting leaves eight children dead in domestic tragedy

A father killed eight children—seven of his own plus one unrelated child—in a domestic-disturbance mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana. He shot 10 people, fled in a stolen car, and was killed by police; two adult women, including the children's mother, are in critical condition, and a ninth child survived after leaping to a nearby roof. The gunman, identified as Shamar Elkins, acted alone, and investigators are coordinating with state police amid what is described as the deadliest U.S. mass shooting this year.
