Seems like there were injuries, as the location matches the tornado description.

Any word on damage in Shreveport? I was looking for an increase in reflectivities after the storm passed the area as it could be a signal of debris. I did notice there was a very well defined doughnut-like signature and a very tight velocity couplet while the cell was going over Shreveport (in between the radar gaps), so a significant tornado tracking through the northern to central part of the city to the airport looked very likely.
