SHREVEPORT, La. – Eight people were shot, including three children, on Sunday at a home in northwest Louisiana.

Shreveport police responded to a home for a report of a shooting just before 2 p.m. local time. Upon arrival, officers located five adults and three children – ages 3, 3 and 5.

The 3-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was listed in critical condition Sunday, police said.

Three of the adults were also listed in critical condition.

"It is obviously very disappointing to have another senseless act of violence," said Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux. "It does not appear to have been a random act. The police appear to think that this was a targeted circumstance."

Fitz posted this cartoon twice. You can see he updated the date & place.

Until we get democratic majorities throughout the country nothing will change.

4. Groomed by the gun culture

Must be fashionable amongst perps. It's not just that there are more shootings, but suddenly it's 8, 10, 12, not just 3 or a measly 4 victims.

5. Disappointing?

A three-year old shot in the chest is not disappointing.

It's monstrous.

And the way you reduce 'senseless acts of violence'?

Get. Rid. Of. The. Gun.

Regulate!
