MINNEAPOLIS — A metro daycare is back open after gunfire shattered windows while children were inside visiting Santa Tuesday afternoon.

Officers responded to the sound of shots fired at 5:16 p.m. at New Horizon Academy, which is located on the 3300 block of Penn Avenue North. A man was seen taking off on foot and was taken into custody without incident.

"I am extremely concerned about this," said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara. "Someone who is clearly not concerned for human life, firing a weapon almost a block away, endangering all of these residences in between, and then striking a day care with kids inside is just outrageous."
