Shreveport, Louisiana residential mass shooting

Post Reply New Topic

Eight people — five adults and three children — in a Shreveport residence were shot Sunday afternoon.

Four are in critical condition. Those include a 3-year-old boy who was shot in his chest and a woman who was shot in the eye. Two other adults also are in critical condition.

Also among the wounded are two girls ages 3 and 5.

The shooting happened at 1:59 p.m. on Sugar Lane in the city’s Martin Luther King Jr. neighborhood, Caddo 911 dispatch records show.

The number and location of shell casings found at the scene leaves no doubt that someone specifically focused on that residence, the police chief added. There were at least 40 shell casings from two different weapons at the corner of Sugar Lane and Northside Road. Most of the bullets struck a bedroom and the living room. the police chief said.

He also said it makes him extremely angry that anyone would try to hurt anyone, but particularly that someone would recklessly fire into a home.

What the heck, ASP.
