Eight children have been killed in a mass shooting in Louisiana following a “domestic disturbance,” police said Sunday morning.
The children were aged between 1 and 14, according to police spokesperson Christopher Bordelon of the Shreveport Police Department.
Some of the children killed were related to the suspect, Bordelon said during a press conference from the scene.
In total, 10 people were shot.
Bordelon said the suspected shooter fled in a stolen vehicle and was fatally shot by police during a chase in Bossier City.
“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” Bordelon said.
“This is a tragic situation, maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had,” Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux added. “It’s a terrible morning in Shreveport.”
Police said they were still gathering details about the crime scene and Louisiana State Police is also investigating.
