Minnesota Tragedy: Victims Named in Hopkins-Daycare and Burnsville Deaths

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified Kristen Brown, 41, and her daughter Evie Brown, 7, as victims in the Hopkins in-home daycare tragedy, reportedly killed by Kristen’s husband, Nathan Brown, who then took his own life; 78-year-old Alice Brown, a close family relative, was found dead in Burnsville later the same day. Investigators say a screwdriver was used in the killings per a warrant, and six other children were unharmed inside the daycare. A letter indicated the daycare would close due to relationship issues with Nathan.

Federal Law Aids Prosecution in Burnsville Shooting Case

A Burnsville woman has been federally charged for purchasing firearms used in the shooting of three first responders, thanks to a recent change in federal law known as The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which created the crime of straw purchasing. Ashley Dyrdahl faces multiple charges, including conspiracy and lying while registering for a firearm, and has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege that she knowingly provided powerful firearms to a violent convicted felon, and the new law has allowed for expanded potential penalties of up to 15 years.
