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 life-threatening condition.

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