Eight children were killed in what police believe was a domestic shooting in northwest Louisiana on April 19, according to local authorities.

Shreveport Police Department spokesman Christopher Bordelon said in a news conference that the incident occurred just after 6 a.m. CT in the 300 block of West 79th Street in Shreveport. A total of 10 people were shot and the eight children killed were between the ages of 1 and 14.

Police say the person “responsible” for the shooting carjacked a vehicle after the incident and was followed by police to an area in Bossier Parish, where officers shot and killed the suspect.

Bordelon said police believe the suspect was the only person who fired shots during the incident, which he described as a “domestic disturbance.”

Police have not released the suspect or victim.
