Tragedy in Shreveport: 8 children killed, rattling classrooms
AP News
—
Across Shreveport, Louisiana, schools were limping through the day, stung by the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. in more than two years.
Seven siblings and a cousin were killed Sunday.
The children ranged in age from 3 to 11.
At a preschool program in the city, teacher Angela Hall lasted until noon.
One of the dead was a student, a boy she described as a “cool little dude.” She had just pulled his mother aside last week to brag that he could write his first and last name.
Now she is praying. “Just give us that strength.”
