Three people, including a child, were found dead after a stabbing at an in-home daycare in Hopkins, Minnesota, on Wednesday. Police say the incident appears to be a domestic murder-suicide: the adult male allegedly stabbed a woman and a child before killing himself. Hopkins Police Chief Brent Johnson said the victims, a man, a woman and a child, are believed to be from the same family and may have owned Brown Bear Childcare. Other children at the daycare were evacuated unharmed. Authorities have secured the scene and say there is no ongoing public threat. The victims' identities have not been officially released. One source, NDTV, reports the man fatally shot himself after the stabbing; other outlets do not specify the method of suicide.
