Blood hit the quiet street before dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neighbors woke to screams, sirens, and the unthinkable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
eight children gunned down in their own homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An 18\u2011month\u2011old baby. A 14\u2011year\u2011old teen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A boy leaping from a roof to survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A carjacking, a chase, a final hail of bullets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the stillness of early Sunday, a Shreveport neighborhood became a crime scene stretching <\/p>\n\n\n\n
across three homes, its silence shattered by gunfire and desperate calls for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inside, children who went to sleep believing they were safe never woke again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police say at least ten people were shot, eight of them young lives ended in minutes by a man some of them knew as family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two women survived the bloodshed; a terrified boy survived by jumping from a roof, choosing broken bones over a bullet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers tracked the suspect after a carjacking and pursuit, ending with his death in a final confrontation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Shreveport\u2019s mayor, it was \u201cmaybe the worst tragic situation\u201d the city has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, a community gathers outside churches and cordoned\u2011off homes, asking how a sanctuary<\/p>\n\n\n\n
turned into a slaughterhouse\u2014and what it means when danger comes from within.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
