The screams started before anyone understood what was happening.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Three quiet homes turned into killing grounds in minutes, as a gunman methodically hunted children \u2014 including his own descendants \u2014 across Shreveport.<\/p>\n
A baby. Toddlers. Teenagers. No warning, no mercy. Ten shot. Eight young lives erased.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then a desperate carjacking, a final chase, and an ending that only rais\u2026 Continues\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Neighbors will never forget the silence after the gunfire stopped \u2014 the kind that feels heavier than any sound.<\/p>\n
Police moved from room to room under flashing red and blue lights, finding children who had gone to bed expecting only another ordinary night.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the shooter targeted three homes, killing eight kids between 1 and 14, then fleeing on foot before forcing a driver out of a car at gunpoint.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Officers caught up with him near West 79th Street and Linwood Avenue, ending the pursuit in a burst of bullets that left the gunman dead in the street.<\/p>\n
Behind them, an \u201cextensive\u201d crime scene stretched across two blocks and three shattered households.<\/p>\n
