The Shreveport community is mourning and working through today’s senseless tragedy. Please join us in praying especially for the families of the victims and all the first responders involved.
I just spoke with @ShreveportMayor Tom Arceneaux about the situation and the multiple law enforcement agencies currently engaged in the investigation to pledge any assistance we can possibly provide.
What apparently began as a domestic dispute this morning ended in a mass shooting with ten people shot—including eight children, ages 1 to 14, who all lost their lives.
Local officials are saying it is one of the worst tragedies they have ever seen. God be with the community through this terrible time.

Analysis Summary
A man killed eight children (ages 3–11) and two adults in a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana early Sunday in what police called a domestic violence incident; he killed seven of his own children plus one other child before being shot and killed by police after a carjacking. This is the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. since January 2024, with local officials describing it as one of the worst tragedies they have witnessed. The post's framing as a prayer and expression of solidarity is appropriate to the scale of the tragedy, though the claimed age range (1–14) slightly overstates the youngest victim's age (youngest was 3, oldest was 11).
