The mother of three of the eight children massacred by deranged Army veteran dad Shamar Elkins in Louisiana still has a bullet lodged in her head and is struggling with her memory — sometimes believing her kids are still alive, according to a relative.

Christina Snow, the girlfriend of 31-year-old Shamar Elkins, was shot in the face early Sunday when the former National Guardsman went on a shooting rampage at two nearby homes in Shreveport.

Three of Snow’s children she shared with Elkins — Braylon Snow, 5, Khedarrion Snow, 6, and Sariahh Snow, 11 — were killed in their home.

Elkins fired a bullet through Snow’s nose which is lodged in her head, and doctors aren’t ready to risk surgery, according to her cousin Jamarckus Snow.

The mom is now dealing with heartbreaking memory loss about the fate of her kids.

“One day, she’ll remember they’re dead. I heard yesterday she woke up and was like, ‘I got to get my kids ready for school.’ She’ll lose memory of what happened,” he told NBC News.

“One day, she’ll know, and the next day, she’s thinking her kids is still there.”

Follow the latest updates on the Louisiana father who killed 8 children in Shreveport shooting:

  • Shreveport gunman who murdered 8 kids — including 7 of his own — ID’d as Army vet Shamar Elkins, who shared post of daughter hours before slaughter
  • Louisiana killer dad Shamar Elkins’ possible motive revealed after slaughtering 8 kids
  • Elkins previously convicted of firing gun near school a decade before slaughtering 8 kids
  • How a terrified child survived Louisiana killer dad’s rampage by making jump from roof

Elkins fatally shot his seven children — the three he shared with Snow and his four daughters with his wife, Shaneiqua Pugh: Jayla Elkins, 3, Shayla Elkins, 5, Kayla Pugh, 6, and Layla Pugh, 7.

He also killed Mar’Kaydon Pugh, 10, the son of his wife’s sister, who was staying at their house.

The vet turned his gun on Pugh and Snow, too, severely wounding both women, who are still in the hospital.

Elkins shot himself in the driveway of his former military mentor as law enforcement closed in.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but Elkins was suffering from mental health issues and was scheduled to appear in court on Monday after Pugh asked him for a divorce.
