The Louisiana gunman who murdered eight children — including seven of his own — 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.
