It’s being widely reported that a guy named Shamar Elkins just shot and killed eight children in Shreveport, Louisiana.
KTBS just reported the following. The bolding is mine:

SHREVEPORT, La. — Eight children are dead and two women were critically injured in a mass shooting Sunday morning in the Cedar Grove neighborhood.
The suspected shooter, Shamar Elkins, is also dead. He was shot at a scene in Bossier City after a police chase.
Elkins, 31, has a prior criminal conviction in Caddo District Court. He was arrested in March 2019 on a charge of illegal use of weapons and carrying a firearm on school property.
The incident took place less than 300 feet from the fenceline at Caddo Magnet. The gunshots were fired in the direction of the school while children were playing outside, according to the police report.
Elkins pleaded guilty to the illegal weapons charge in October 2019. The second charge was dismissed, and Elkins was placed on probation for 18 months.
So here’s my question: Why wasn’t this guy locked up for the rest of his life after he fired five shots “in the direction of [a] school while children were playing outside” in 2019?
Eight children were murdered in 2026 because Louisiana refused to lock up a guy named Shamar Elkins after he fired five shots “in the direction of [a] school while children were playing outside” in 2019
