This sounds like a family massacre. They have not released the details but all the victims are 14 or younger.



SHREVEPORT, La. — Shreveport police are on the scene of a mass shooting in the Cedar Grove neighborhood that has left at least eight people dead and others wounded, according to SPD. The suspect, an adult male, is also dead. He was shot at a scene in Bossier Parish.

Went to Shreveport several times for the horse races and casinos back in the 80s/90s.
It was pretty decent then, but still run down. I can only imagine how ghetto it must be now.

Even with new residences popping up, the city hasn't upgraded anything from the 60s.

I don't think Shreveport is a safe city at all, towards the top in violent crime in America.

No joy for this family, sadly.

Once again, the law failed us. And them.
He was arrested for shooting at a school in 2019. He never should have seen the light of day again.

That's one way to get out of those pesky child support payments.

I have a close friend who grew up in Shreveport.

He told me last night that he can't believe it happened, but if it did he is not surprised it's his hometown.

He says Shreveport is a horrible place.
