We can not let the start of August go by without remembering a tragedy in our community that happened on August 2, 2010. It is considered one of the darkest days in Shreveport’s history.
August 2, 2010, six teenagers from two families drowned in the Red River. The families were enjoying a summer outing on the bank of the river when one of the teens stepped off a sandbar and slipped into deep water. The other teens tried to help rescue their friend/cousin, but none of them could swim.
Please take a moment this week to remember these teenagers who we lost on that tragic day in 2010…
