There is this infamous gun culture in the United States, which continues to sustain despite hundreds of casualties and fatalities every year. And now it has reached a pathetic law as eight innocent kids were killed in a mass shooting in Louisiana of the United States.

According to the latest reports from Louisiana as shocking, mass shooting incident resulted in the deaths of eight kids, including seven of them who happened to be the shooter’s own.

Earlier yesterday, the police got calls about shots fired in the Cedar Grove neighborhood shortly after 6 a.m. Shortly after they arrival on the scene, the officers found victims inside three separate homes along West 79th Street and a nearby address on Harrison Street.

A man named Shamar Elkins got into a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend and the argument escalated quickly, and he opened fire on her and her sister. Along with that, he opened fire at his own children and also his ex girlfriend’s sister’s kids.

The eight children who died were between 1 and 14 years old. The two adult women were also shot in the head, and one of them remained in life-threatening condition. According to multiple reports seven of the children were his and one was a relative.

The shooter was also shot on the scene by the responding police officers, and he is confirmed to be dead. But the shocking thing here is that innocent kids who had a lot of future ahead of them are now in lifeless condition due to the inhuman act of their own father. This incident has brought more criticism on the gun culture in the United States.
