Eight people were shot inside a home in Shreveport on Sunday afternoon. Police chief Wayne Smith says five adults and three children, two three-year-olds and a five-year-old were wounded.
“The kids that were in there had no idea, they could not have been involved in an argument with someone, not at all, they had nothing to do with whatever caused this and it makes me so angry and upsets me so much,” said Smith.
Four of the victims are listed in critical condition, including a three-year-old boy. Smith says it appears this was a drive-by shooting.
“There are multiple rounds in the street and off the roadway, so could have well been,” said Smith.
The search for the shooter is ongoing. Councilwoman Tabitha Taylor is upset at this kind of violence in her district.
“When people purposely in their hearts go into and kill and especially when you hurt innocent children in this, I don’t know what your train of thought is,” said Taylor.
