Police in Shreveport, Louisiana, are working to establish the identity and movements of a gunman who carried out a series of shootings across multiple homes early on Sunday, killing eight children and injuring others. Authorities said the suspect, an adult man who has not yet been named, died after a police pursuit that ended in neighbouring Bossier Parish. Officers opened fire following a chase that began when the suspect allegedly carjacked a vehicle while fleeing the initial scene.
