An adult male in Shreveport, Louisiana went on a shooting spree, leaving eight children dead, and others injured across multiple locations early Sunday.
The suspect was killed following a police chase into nearby Bossier Parish after allegedly fleeing the initial shootings and stealing a vehicle.
Police said 10 people were shot in total, including eight children between the ages of about 1 and 14, some of whom were related to the gunman.
The violence began at two homes south of downtown Shreveport, with a third related location later identified as part of the wider crime scene.
According to authorities, the suspect left the scene after the shootings and carried out a carjacking nearby before being tracked by officers.
Investigators added that the shootings appeared to have stemmed from a domestic incident, however, the exact trigger was not confirmed.
