Officials haven’t but recommended a motive on the gunman’s half.
The children, siblings and one cousin, had been three boys and 5 women. They had been aged between three to 11, the Caddo Parish coroner’s workplace mentioned.
Local police had earlier mentioned on Sunday the children ranged in age from one to 14.
The coroner’s workplace mentioned the children had been recognized by their moms as Jayla Elkins, 3, Shayla Elkins, 5, Kayla Pugh, 6, Layla Pugh, 7, Markaydon Pugh, 10, Sariahh Snow, 11, Khedarrion Snow, 6, and Braylon Snow, 5.
Neighbours described their shock to US media. Mack London, 71, informed NBC News he had lived in the world for many years and that “nothing like this has ever happened on this street”.
