HOPKINS, Minn. (AP) — A man killed his partner and their child at the Minnesota home daycare they own before taking his life, police said Wednesday.

Six other children who were at the daycare have been reunited with their parents, and none were injured, according to authorities in Hopkins, a suburb of Minneapolis.

Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson said another parent called police after witnessing the attack while arriving to drop a child off at the home.

“There’s no worse scenario than this, where you drop off your child somewhere you think is safe, and you get that phone call,” Johnson said at a news conference.

The police chief declined to say how the victims died. He said he didn’t know the relationship between the two adults who owned the daycare, but the child who died is believed to be theirs.
