How did Shri Krishna end Shakatasur and how he had found salvation

When Lord Krishna was three months old, his mother Yasoda went to take him to a bed in a courtyard and bathe in the river Yamuna. When she returned, the bed was broken and Lord Krishna was not from bed. When she went inside the house and saw that Lord Krishna was sleeping there on the bed. When Yasoda went to take a bath with Krishna, Kansa sent a demon named Shakatasun to kill Krishna. He was very happy to see the demon Lord Krishna in sleep and began to demonstrate his power over them. As soon as he ran to kill Krishna, he hurled the demon into the air and fell to the ground and killed him.As Krishna killed Shaktasur he attained salvation.
