Evil, just that.
Shreveport, Louisiana, police identified Shamar Elkins as the suspect in the shooting that killed eight children, including a 1-year-old, calling it a “heinous act.”
Shreveport Police Department Corporal Christopher Bordelon released the identity while speaking with reporters near the crime scene on Sunday evening. He also said seven of the eight children killed are believed to be Elkins’ children.
Police said the violence unfolded early Sunday during what investigators described as a domestic incident. Eight children, ranging in age from about 1 to 14, were found dead inside a home in the 300 block of West 79th Street.
Authorities said Elkins shot the mother of his children, who is expected to survive, while another female who was shot is suffering from life-threatening injuries. A teenage victim also sustained injuries that are considered non-life-threatening.
I would love to say I am shocked about a crime like this, but unfortunately the history of multiple murder of children by parents is long and sad. I believe most of the killings were made by mothers, but fathers do not shy away from exterminating his kids.
And don’t ask me what goes through their minds because I cannot begin to fathom such insane violence.
And the Bradys, Giffords, and Moms Demand will dance in the blood of these children and demand more victim disarmament, because it works so very well everywhere it is done.
Heinous and sad, I can not fathom such an action.
