Louisiana shooter Shamar Elkins’ chilling remarks before killing his 7 kids and their cousin

On Easter Sunday, Elkins had called his mother, Mahelia Elkins, and his stepfather, Marcus Jackson. He said he wanted a divorce from his wife and wanted to end his life.

“I told him, ‘You can beat stuff, man. I don’t care what you’re going through, you can beat it,’” Jackson told The New York Times. “Then I remember him telling me: ‘Some people don’t come back from their demons.’”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family amid this horrifying tragedy.
