Many people showed up to the police station after hearing the news, including Shreveport City Councilman Jerry Bowman.
"Tonight is horrific, it's not bad, it's horrific," said Bowman. "An innocent child didn't ask for this. And no one else does, but this should be an eye-opener for a lot of us. The person who did this, this should be an eye-opener for that person as well."
