Tonight, heartbreak in Louisiana. This is a terrible morning in Shreveport, and we all mourn. 
After a shocking morning of gun violence, Right now, we have at least 10 individuals that were struck by gunfire last night in a domestic disturbance. 
Eight of these individuals are deceased. 
The violence breaking out just after 6:00 in the morning here. Authorities say they responded to a domestic call spread between two residences, where they found 10 people shot. 
The ages of the decedents are from 1 years of age to approximately 14 years of age. 
All of the deceased in this case are juveniles. 
After that, police say the lone suspected gunman carjacked a vehicle and drove to neighboring Bossier City, leading police on a chase that ended in an exchange of gunfire. 
At which point in time, Shreveport police officers did discharge their firearm, and that individual is deceased. 
Families devastated. 
To wake up and to hear this kind of news that someone would shoot eight children, eight innocent children, 
it's just unreal. 
Authorities have yet to identify the deceased shooter or any of the victims, but say that some of the children are believed to be children of the deceased gunman. 
No officers were injured in the pursuit, which spanned several miles and four different locations across the area. 
I think about this community and what this community has lost, and I don't have the words to give you, and I'm sorry. 
Tonight, the people of Shreveport grappling with an unthinkable loss. 
Incredibly difficult for so many. Ryan is live at the scene for us tonight. 
Ryan, what else do we know about two other people who were shot, but who survived? 
Well, Holly, you hear the music and the prayers here at the scene tonight as neighbors and community members stand here together to pull for those two surviving victims who are still in the hospital tonight. 
Holly, this scene has transformed throughout the day from one of incomprehensible tragedy behind me to now in front of me, one of worship tonight. Holly. 
Ryan, we thank you for watching, and remember, stay updated on breaking news 
and top stories on the NBC News app or watch live on our YouTube channel.
