The Louisiana gunman who murdered eight children before he was killed
was a 31-year-old Army vet who posted a picture of himself with one of
his daughters hours before Sunday’s massacre.

Shamar Elkins unleashed his unthinkable carnage at three addresses in Shreveport shortly after 6 a.m. Central Time, authorities said.

The slain victims ranged from 1 to 14, and there was audible gasping as
a police rep read out their ages at a press conference Sunday.

Elkins also shot two women in the head, with one described as in a life-threatening condition.

Elkins was subsequently chased by local police, who shot him dead as he
drove into neighboring Bossier City.

On his Facebook page, Elkins shared a picture of him with his eldest
daughter as she ate a burger Saturday, hours before his rampage.

“Lol!!!! Took my oldest on a lil 1 on 1 date had to catch her down bad
ugh ugh,” the killer wrote, along with a string of laughing emojis.

Two weeks ago, Elkins shared a picture of himself posing with seven
children as he described taking them to church for an Easter service.
