Eight children were killed in a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Sunday morning, according to police.
Officers with the Shreveport Police Department responded to the 300 block of West 79th Street just after 6 a.m. following reports of a domestic disturbance. Police spokesperson Christopher Bordelon described the crime scene as extensive, spanning two homes in the area and a third on Harrison Street nearby.
"You have three different scenes, the shooting itself occurred just down the road over here, the 300 block of West 79th," Bordelon said. "Theres also another shooting related to this on Harrison Street, and then theres an adjacent residence on West 79 where one of the victims ran to after the shooting."
Ten people were shot eight fatally ranging in age from 1 to 14 years old, Bordelon said at a news briefing.
