The incident comes just a week after police identified Shamar Elkins as the suspect in a domestic violence rampage that left eight children dead and two women shot in Louisiana last week.
Shreveport Police Department Corporal Christopher Bordelon released Elkins’ identity while speaking with reporters near the crime scene Sunday evening, calling the mass shooting a “heinous crime.”
