随着对周日路易斯安那州什里夫波特八名儿童致命枪击案动机的调查继续进行，据称是七名受害者的父亲所为，警方官员公布了一份详细描述68分钟大屠杀的时间表。
“4月19日...将被载入史册，成为什里夫波特有史以来最糟糕的一天，”什里夫波特警察局局长韦恩·史密斯在周一的新闻发布会上说。
史密斯说，嫌疑人沙马尔·埃尔金斯(Shamar Elkins)是路易斯安那州陆军国民警卫队(Louisiana Army National Guard)的前成员，据称他使用突击式手枪杀死了他的七个孩子和第八个与他有血缘关系的孩子。警方称，一名十几岁的男孩为躲避枪击从屋顶跳下时也受了伤。
虽然埃尔金斯在一次汽车追逐后被警察开枪打死，但史密斯说目前还不清楚他是被枪杀还是自杀身亡。
史密斯说，家庭暴力被认为是杀人背后的主要动机。这位负责人说，两名妇女，包括七名遇难儿童的母亲，在事件中受伤，目前仍在住院治疗。
他说，调查人员正在调查与枪击事件有关的五个不同的犯罪现场。
警方表示，遇难的孩子包括兄弟姐妹和一个堂兄弟，年龄在3岁至11岁之间。

Motive sought in fatal shooting of 8 children in Louisiana as police give timeline of massacre
As an investigation continued into the motive of Sunday'sfatal shootings of eight childrenin Shreveport, Louisiana, allegedly by the father of seven of the victims, police officials released a timeline detailing the 68-minute massacre.
"April 19 ... will be written in the pages of history as one of the worst days that could have ever happened here in Shreveport," Chief Wayne Smith of the Shreveport Police Department said at a news conference on Monday.
Smith said the suspect, Shamar Elkins, a former member of the Louisiana Army National Guard, allegedly used an assault-style pistol to kill seven of his children and an eighth child related to him. A teenage boy was also injured when he jumped off the roof of a house to escape the shooting, police said.
While Elkins died after police opened fire on him following a car chase, Smith said it remains unclear whether he was shot to death or died by suicide.
Smith said domestic violence is believed to be the primary motive behind the killings. The chief said two women, including the mother of seven of the children who were killed, were wounded in the incident and remain hospitalized.
He said investigators are probing five different crime scenes connected to the shootings.
Police said the children killed, siblings and one cousin, ranged in age from 3 to 11.
