A chilling new report has emerged in the aftermath of the Shreveport mass shooting in Louisiana, in which eight children were killed, including seven of the suspect’s own, with sources claiming that Shamar Elkins had allegedly made references to “demons” in the weeks leading up to the attack.

Elkins, a 31-year-old Army veteran, is accused of carrying out a series of shootings across multiple locations on April 19, 2026, before fleeing the scene and later dying following a police pursuit, according to authorities. Police have described the incident as a domestic-related mass shooting.

Investigators say a total of 10 people were shot, including two women who remain hospitalized. The victims were aged between 3 and 11, with officials confirming that most of the deceased children were Elkins’ own.

According to multiple reports, the attack began at one residence before the suspect moved to another nearby home where the majority of the killings occurred. Police say the situation unfolded rapidly and involved multiple crime scenes across the area.

In the days leading up to the incident, sources claim Elkins had displayed signs of emotional distress, although officials have not confirmed any specific warnings or a clear motive behind the attack. Authorities say they are continuing to investigate his background, mental health history, and recent personal circumstances.

The case has sparked widespread shock across the United States, with officials describing it as one of the most severe domestic mass killings in recent years, while investigators continue to work to establish a definitive timeline and motive behind the violence.
