Authorities say the mother wasn’t physically harmed, but she’s now left to face the unthinkable loss of her little girl and her partner. Police Chief Brian O’Hara called the scene “unimaginable” and expressed his deep condolences to the family and everyone affected, including the first responders who witnessed the heartbreaking aftermath.
Officials are still working to officially identify the victims, and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner will release their names in the coming days. The Minneapolis Police Department urges anyone with information to come forward as their investigation continues.
