BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (AP) - Relatives say a day care operator and her parents are the victims in a fatal shooting at her Minnesota home.

James Bolden says police told him that his sister, DeLois Brown, and his parents James and Clover Bolden were killed in the attack Monday morning. It happened in Brooklyn Park, a suburb northwest of Minneapolis.

No arrests have been made.

Police say the bodies were discovered by a mother who had just dropped off her toddler and then returned to the day care after seeing a suspicious person hanging around. Her child was OK and no one else was hurt in the attack.

Ron Brown, DeLois Brown's brother-in-law, says DeLois had just moved her parents to Minnesota from the St. Louis area so she could take care of them.
