We began with a community grieving after a mass shooting in Louisiana. 10 people
were shot in Shreveport. Eight were killed, all of them children.
The gunman also dead.
Police say the attacks happened at two homes.
CBS's Jason Allen is there for us tonight with the details.
Jason.
Jericka, good evening. People are still filling this Shreveport neighborhood tonight, emotional and upset over this shooting that happened both at this house behind me and another one just up the road.
And police told me in the last hour it was a survivor of the shooting who escaped and called them to tell them about it just after 6:00 this morning.
When police got here, they found 10 people had been shot.
Eight of them had been shot, killed, and as you mentioned, all eight of those were children.
Police also confirming for me that at least seven of those eight children were the children of the shooter, who they identified as Shamar Elkins.
After the shooting, police say that Elkins carjacked someone just down the street, got into a pursuit with police, stopped.
They say he produced a handgun, and police officers shot him there at the scene.
Louisiana State Police tonight are also involved in this investigation.
This is a tragic situation, making the worst tragic situations we've ever had in Shreveport.
I don't know what people think in the crevices of their mind
to want to harm another human being, let
alone that of children who have their whole life ahead of them.
Shreveport police said that they had one had one previous run-in with Mr. Elkins, but looking back at that history,
Jericka, they said there is nothing that would explain anything like what happened here in Shreveport this morning.
Yeah, that community will never be the same.
Jason Allen, thank you.
