SHREVEPORT - Governor Jeff Landry said that his wife, Louisiana's First Lady Sharon Landry, will be covering the funeral costs for the victims of Shreveport's mass shooting.

On Sunday, Shamar Elkins killed his seven children and nephew before being shot by police. All of the victims were between the ages of 3 and 11. 

Both Governor Jeff Landry and Sharon Landry traveled to Shreveport on Monday to speak to the community and announced that Sharon Landry's foundation, Love One Louisiana, will be paying for the children's funerals. 

"Of course, both she and I recognize that no amount of money or act of charity can repair the pain, but what we can lean on is that this act of charity can stand as a beacon of faith. And belief that good things still happen in this world," Gov. Landry said. 

Law enforcement has not released a definitive motive for the shooting, but did say Elkins was going through a separation with his wife, one of the two adults who was shot and survived.
