HOPKINS, Minn. (AP) \u2014 A man killed his partner and their child at the Minnesota home daycare they own before taking his life, police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
All six other kids who were at the home have been reunited with their parents, and none were injured, according to authorities in Hopkins, a suburb of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson said another parent called police after witnessing the attack while bringing a child to Brown Bear Childcare.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no worse scenario than this, where you drop off your child somewhere you think is safe, and you get that phone call,\u201d Johnson said at a news conference.<\/p>\n
The police chief declined to say how the victims died. He said he didn\u2019t know the relationship between the two adults who owned the daycare, but the child who died is believed to be theirs.<\/p>\n
Johnson said killings are a \u201crarity\u201d in Hopkins and that his officers were shaken by the scene they found inside the home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could see on the look on their faces that this was one of those ones that you\u2019ll remember for your entire career, if not life,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n
