Eight children were killed in a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Sunday morning, according to police.

Officers with the Shreveport Police Department responded to the 300 block of West 79th Street just after 6 a.m. following reports of a domestic disturbance. Police spokesperson Christopher Bordelon described the crime scene as “extensive,” spanning two homes in the area and a third on Harrison Street nearby.

"You have three different scenes, the shooting itself occurred just down the road over here, the 300 block of West 79th," Bordelon said. "There’s also another shooting related to this on Harrison Street, and then there’s an adjacent residence on West 79 where one of the victims ran to after the shooting."

Ten people were shot — eight fatally — ranging in age from 1 to 14 years old, Bordelon said at a news briefing.

FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic and its staff writer Sarah Fitzpatrick over an article, alleging its claims were false.

In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Patel stated the magazine and Fitzpatrick “published the Article with actual malice, despite being expressly warned, hours before publication, that the central allegations were categorically false,” also “despite having abundant publicly available information contradicting those allegations,” and “despite obvious and fatal defects in their own sourcing.”

The Atlantic article by Fitzpatrick, which cited anonymous sources, claimed Patel allegedly drank in excess and that his colleagues were concerned. At one point, Fitzpatrick wrote that “multiple current officials” and “former officials who have stayed close to him” were concerned about the alleged drinking, also claiming that President Donald Trump is seeking to replace him following the ouster of former Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Meenu Batra, a single mother of four adult U.S. citizens, was arrested March 17 by federal immigration officers at Valley International Airport in Harlingen, Texas, while on her way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a work trip.

"They told me you're here illegally," Batra told CBS News of her arrest in an exclusive interview Wednesday from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's El Valle Detention Facility in Raymondville, Texas, located near the U.S.-Mexico border. "And I said, 'No, sir, I have my documents with me, in my bag right now.'"

Batra was born in India. When she was a teenager, her parents were killed because of their Sikh religion. She fled to the U.S. roughly 35 years ago and applied for asylum.

In 2000, she was granted an immigration status known as "withholding of removal," which differs from asylum.

Unlike asylum, withholding of removal recipients cannot apply for permanent U.S. residency. It also does not protect them from being deported to a third-party country.

In a statement provided to CBS News, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security called Batra an "illegal alien," adding that "employment authorization does not confer any type of legal status."
