Caddo Commission issues remembrance for Cedar Grove child victims

At a Monday work session, Caddo Parish Commissioners mourned eight children killed in a Cedar Grove shooting, reading each child’s name and holding a moment of silence. The commission added a Special Resolution of Remembrance, calling the attack an unimaginable act of violence and urging unity to honor the victims while protecting women and children in Shreveport. Commissioners Steffon Jones and Ron Cothran, with the home sitting between their districts, voiced pain and a need for action, as members discussed supporting local domestic violence programs and addressing PTSD among military members.
