CBS News reported:
Police in Hopkins, Minnesota, say three people were found dead inside a residential daycare Wednesday morning. Preliminarily, they believe a man took his own life after killing a woman and child.
Officers were called to the home around 9 a.m. Police say there were seven children at the daycare at the time, and it’s unclear if the deceased child is part of that count.
All of the children have been reunified with their parents, according to police.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey acknowledged at the start of his 2027 budget address Wednesday morning that a “critical incident” had occurred in Hopkins.
“I know that our hearts and our prayers are with the people of Hopkins and any families that have been impacted,” Frey said. “I have already touched base directly with Mayor Hanlon, offered any assistance that we possibly can provide.”
