A Kentucky daycare employee is accused of making threats to “shoot up” the facility in an effort to force a lockdown during a stretch of extreme summer heat.
The 27-year-old woman allegedly told investigators she did not want to be outside with the children in the heat and knew a threat would keep everyone inside the building. Temperatures in Bowling Green reached the high 90s on August 13 and 14.
The investigation began August 13, when Warren County sheriff’s deputies were called to the daycare over reports of violent threats. Investigators initially suspected a former employee or her husband and located the pair nearby.
