Eight children between the ages of 1 and 14 were killed in a mass shooting in Louisiana on Sunday, which authorities believe was a domestic incident.
The gunman, who allegedly opened fire in different homes, was later killed in a police chase after officers fired at the suspect.
Two adult women survived gunshots to their heads, while a young boy sustained injuries after jumping from a roof during the chaos.
Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon said the scene was 'unlike anything' the personnel had seen, with the investigation involving the Louisiana State Police detectives.
No clear motive for the crime has been established yet, and officials are gathering details at the crime scenes, which extended across three locations.
