    Shooting at a MN Daycare :(

    Three adults were killed. News hasn't stated if children were present or not? Praying no children were witness to this



    Scary.

    Could have been a stranger who picked that house at random.
    Could have been a stranger who wanted to target a day care.
    Could have been a day care parent with a grudge.
    Could have been a relative of one of the workers.
    Could have been a stranger who went to the wrong address.

    Could have been a number of reasons/scenarios. And that is why my day care door stays locked ALL the time.

        I am just amazed at the amount of school shooting there have been. It seems like every time we turn on the news there has been yet another shooting at a school or college.
        What is happening to out world? If we don't have to worry about the drugs, the gangs, or the bullying, we have to worry about the shootings.
        I thank God my children are all out of school. But now I have the worry about when my Grandson gets old enough to go to school.
        I'm starting to think now I know why so many people are going to home schooling. At least the people that are home schooling know their child will be safe there.
        My thoughts and prayers are with this daycare provider and all the families that attended her daycare. This is a sad sad story that we now have to worry about a shooting at a daycare. I mean really of all places.

            The "trend" of school shootings is because crazy people get ideas from the news and other crazy people this too will pass hopefully with lots of prayers and good work on the behalf of police sooner rather than later.

              Very sad. They are not saying if any of the dead were children or the provder, I am very curious to know.

              I understand the concern for safety at the college campus and the reason for the lockdowns, but it doesn't seem this particular case has anything to do with the colleges. I think the news should be focusing on what happened at the daycare right now, not the colleges. :confused:

                The article mentions the 3 dead as being described as adults... I pray there were no children there to witness this horrible crime!!!

                I get the locking down the area schools, but yes, the focus needs to be on what happened at that daycare!!

                I too keep my doors locked most of the day... I have my childcare set up in my basement and wouldn't want just anyone being able to walk in to my home. I keep them unlocked till the last child arrives and then the upstairs door gets locked and doesn't get unlocked again until my kid come home from school.

                  From what I gather when there is a shooting near a school there notified and as a safety percussion they lock down the schools close by. Our Elem. is right by a Daycare Facility and also Safeway. There was a shooting over in that area and the police notified all the school of what had happened as the person was still on foot and not caught yet.

                      Update says it was the Daycare Provider and her Parents.

                      I hope they catch the person that did it soon.

                          What nightmares are made of...

                          The state found out that a registered sex offender lived next to me after being open for 3 years... They told him he had 7 days to find a new place to live. (He was confrontational with other neighbors and cause quite a ruckus) He lived next door with his wife and three children. He is a sociopath (It's everyone else's fault for his situation... never taking ownership or responsibility for his actions). A detective showed up at my house to tell me he would support a restraining order if it should come down to that. Shortly after he was notified, he approached me to TELL me I was an awful person, I should be ashamed of myself for not writing the state to tell them he was not a threat and he was going tell all DCP's arriving to my daycare that he was a sexual offender and to keep an eye on their children. (I already told all my clients!! I would NEVER leave out that information to potential clients, it's my moral obligation to tell anyone interested that he lives next door). But, seriously I do not want this guy ruining my reputation because I've done NOTHING wrong. I bought a new construction house in a nice neighborhood, for which he closed AFTER me?

                          He never did tell my DCP's anything, his family situation fell apart soon after - divorce, DUI's... He relocated to a motel in the next city over, but was once again arrested for living somewhere other than where he was registered. His family life was on the rocks way before he was removed from his residence, however, he put the blame squarely on me for starting a home daycare.

                          I had many months of nightmares of him coming after me, or my family. He made underhanded threats to me and my family. It's a VERY scary situation. His parents bought the house and it appears now they are cleaning it up for rent or sale. I haven't seen the wife in almost 6 months & the guy comes randomly I'm guessing to help clear stuff out of the house. But not a peep from him since. I'll be doing a happy dance when it's finally over and I can breathe a little easier.

                            How sad!!!!

                            I also keep my door locked. A child arrives and I unlock it, then lock it right back after they are in. I live in a "safe" area but started doing this awhile ago because of family members who would just walk into my home!
