Authorities and relatives say a man killed seven of his children and another child and wounded two women in Shreveport, Louisiana. The violence Sunday was the nation’s deadliest shooting in more than two years. Authorities say the children were 3 to 11 years old. Another person jumped off the roof of the house and was expected to survive. The man died after a police pursuit that ended with officers firing on him. A cousin said one of the women shot is the mother of some of the gunman’s children. She said the husband and wife had been arguing about their separation and were due in court Monday.
