How a terrified child survived Louisiana killer dad Shamar Elkins’ rampage by making horrifying jump from roof

A teen boy who jumped from the roof is the lone child to survive a Louisiana father’s massacre Sunday.

The 13-year-old broke his leg after crazed Army vet Shamar Elkins opened fire at the house in Shreveport just after 6 a.m.

The deranged dad murdered seven of his kids and one of their cousins during the early morning massacre.

It isn’t known if the child who survived was Elkins’ son.

All but one of the children are believed to have been shot in the head while they slept, although another was reportedly shot as she tried to escape onto the roof.

Elkins, who was going through a divorce, also shot his wife and a girlfriend before carjacking a vehicle, sparking a police chase that ended with cops killing him in neighboring Bossier City, La.

Both adult victims were shot in the head. One was able to escape to a neighbor’s house and call 911 despite having a gunshot wound to her face, according to police.
