Eight children were killed in a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, multiple news outlets reported on Sunday, citing local police.
The children killed in the incident ranged in age from 1 to 14, Shreveport Police Department spokesperson Christopher Bordelon told NBC. The individual believed to be the gunman hijacked a car after the shooting and died after police fired at the vehicle during a chase, Bordelon told NBC.
Police did not share any information about this individual, but Bordelon told NBC that some of the slain children “were his descendants.”
