Louisiana father Shamar Elkins fatally shot eight children, including seven of his own, and wounded two women in Shreveport, marking the deadliest U.S. mass shooting in over two years.
The attacks unfolded in two neighborhood homes before sunrise, culminating in a police pursuit where Elkins died after officers fired on him.
Police have not established a motive, but family members indicated Elkins and his wife were separating before the tragic events.
Elkins had a prior felony gun conviction from 2019, which legally prohibited him from possessing a firearm.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
