Three mothers attended a viewing for their eight children who were killed in a mass attack in Shreveport, Louisiana last month, marking the first time they had seen their children since the incident.

All three women sustained serious injuries during the mass killing and were unable to see their children until the viewing held before funeral services. The attack occurred in Shreveport last month, though specific details about the circumstances of the killings have not been disclosed.

The viewing allowed the mothers to be reunited with their children for the first time since the tragic incident that claimed eight young lives. The extent of the mothers' injuries had previously prevented them from having contact with their children's remains.

Funeral services for the eight children are expected to follow the viewing. The case represents one of the most significant mass casualty incidents involving children in recent Louisiana history, though authorities have not released additional details about the investigation or circumstances surrounding the attack.
