Mass shooting kills 8 children

The massacre, described as the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. in over two years, occurred across multiple locations in a single neighborhood.

The victims ranged in age from three to eleven years old, and police report that they were killed 'execution-style' with an assault-style weapon.

Elkins was subsequently shot and killed by law enforcement during a confrontation.

The tragedy has devastated the local community and renewed national debates regarding domestic violence and firearm access for convicted felons.
