SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) \u2014 A gunman in Louisiana killed eight children in domestic-related shootings at different homes early Sunday, police in Shreveport said.<\/p>\n
The victims ranged in age from one to about 14 years old, said Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon. A total of 10 were people shot.<\/p>\n
The gunman later died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect, Bordelon said.<\/p>\n
The suspect stole a car while leaving the scene of the shootings and was followed by police, according to Bordelon. <\/p>\n
Officials said they were still gathering details about the crime scene, which extended across three locations. Some of the children shot were related to the suspect, Bordelon said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Louisiana State Police say their detectives have been asked by Shreveport police to investigate. In a statement, state police say no officers were harmed in the shooting that involved an officer after a police pursuit into Bossier City on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
