Three people are dead in a suspected domestic incident inside a Hopkins home daycare Wednesday morning.
The incident unfolded about 9 a.m. on the 200 block of Tyler Ave N. at Brown Bear Daycare. Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson later confirmed that two adults, a male and a female, and a juvenile were found deceased.
Details were few at the late-morning press conference as to the method of the violence, but the chief said the male is believed to be the perpetrator and is believed to have taken his own life in the incident. The three individuals are believed to be from the same family and the owners of the daycare, the chief said.
Six other children were present in the home and were reportedly unharmed. The other children were removed from the home and reunited with their families.
Chief Johnson said the incident is believed to be isolated with no other immediate danger to the neighborhood.
A search of state records revealed a daycare license registered to Kristen A. Brown at the address.
Another press conference is expected Wednesday about 4 p.m. Alpha News will continue to follow developments.
This is a developing story.
