Shamar Elkins killed his seven children and their cousin in the worst mass shooting in the U.S since January 2024. He had previously spoken about having “demons” with his stepfather, and now, new chilling details arise. Per The New York Times, he threatened to kill both his wife and his children years ago.
Shamar Elkins’ adoptive mother, Betty Walker, has shared horrifying details on Shamar Elkins, the father who killed his seven children and their cousin, and injured his wife as well as his girlfriend in the mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Sunday.
Per reports, the father shot the majority of the children in the head while they were sleeping, Shreveport Corporal Chruistopher Bordelon said Monday. Some of the children tried escaping through a back door and through the roof, but were shot dead.
Police found the eight children dead in the rental home as they responded to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance. The children’s ages ranged from 3 to 11.
“There’s blood and bodies everywhere,” Bordelon said. “Some were shot in the bed, some were shot trying to get away.”
“I think he just had it in his mind he was going to kill everybody in the house,” he continued. “I don’t think there was much thought processes to order, I don’t know that he necessarily had a plan other than just to kill everybody.”
