41岁的内森·布朗在明尼苏达州霍普金斯市一家日间护理中心用螺丝刀刺死妻子克里斯汀·布朗和7岁女儿埃薇，随后自杀身亡[1]。事件发生于周三上午[1]。一名送孩子上日托的父亲听到尖叫声并发现了这起事件，随后拨打911并撤离现场[1]。日间护理中心内当时还有6名其他儿童在场，均未受伤[1]。
警方调查发现内森·布朗可能还在距霍普金斯约20英里的伯恩斯维尔杀害了一名78岁的女性亲属[1]。克里斯汀·布朗自2019年获得州执照运营该日间护理中心，其容纳量为10名儿童，2023年、2024年和2025年的检查记录均符合规范[1]。事件发生前不久，克里斯汀·布朗曾向家长寄信表示日托中心将关闭，理由为"与内森的关系问题"[1]。
A 41-year-old man fatally stabbed his wife and 7-year-old daughter with a screwdriver at a daycare center in Hopkins, Minnesota, on Wednesday morning, then took his own life [1]. The victims were identified as Kristen Brown, who operated the licensed daycare facility, and her daughter Evie [1]. A parent dropping off a child heard screaming, discovered the violence, called 911, and evacuated the premises [1].
Police are investigating whether the man also killed a 78-year-old female relative in nearby Burnsville, approximately 20 miles away [1]. Six other children were present at the daycare during the incident and were not harmed [1]. The daycare, which had been licensed since 2019 and held capacity for 10 children, had passed state inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 [1]. Shortly before the incident, Kristen Brown had sent letters to parents stating the facility would close due to "relationship issues with Nathan" [1].
