A shooting spree across Shreveport, Louisiana, has left eight children dead, authorities said. Police responded to reports of gunfire at 6 a.m. Sunday and chased the suspect, fatally shooting him after he attempted to flee in a stolen car. The victims’ ages ranged from 1 to 14, and some of the children shot were related to the unidentified gunman, officials said. Authorities also revealed that the attacks took place at three separate locations. “This is a rather extensive crime scene spanning between two residences here. There is also another residence on Harrison Street that is part of this crime scene as well,” Cpl. Chris Bordelon of the Shreveport Police Department said at a news conference. Two others were shot, and their conditions remain unknown. “This is a tragic situation — maybe the worst tragic situation we’ve ever had,” Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux said.
