Eight children aged 1 to 14 were killed in a shooting in Louisiana on Sunday, police said. Authorities believe it was linked to a domestic incident. The suspect opened fire at different homes in Shreveport before fleeing in a stolen car. Police chased the suspect, who was later killed after officers opened fire. Two women were shot in the head but survived. A young boy was hurt after jumping from a roof during the chaos. Police said some of the children killed "were his descendants". Officials called the crime scene "unlike anything most of us have ever seen". An investigation is underway. (PC: HT)
