00:00Just 10 days ago, we stood as a community to announce the opening of the Caddo Sheriff's Office Domestic Violence
00:10Unit.
00:12That announcement was a step forward in protecting victims and supporting families and strengthening our response to domestic violence.
00:21I don't believe any of us could have imagined that only days later, our community would be shaken by the
00:28most heartbreaking tragedies that we have ever witnessed.
00:33Eight innocent children losing their lives as a result of domestic violence.
00:38There are no words that can fully capture the death of this loss.
00:43No words that can ease the pain of the families who are grieving.
00:48No words that can explain the weight of eight young lives taken far too soon.
00:57To the families affected, our hearts are with you, our prayers are with you, and our commitment to you is
01:08unwavering.
