The fence hit some children, as well as an employee, police said. Two boys 鈥揳ged two and three 鈥� and the staff member were taken to hospital with minor injuries.聽
"This could have been a terrible tragedy, fortunately we're looking at a situation where everyone has minor injuries and the situation is under control," Sgt. Clint Whitney said in a news conference outside the daycare.
"We're going to investigate it thoroughly and once that investigation is done we'll make a determination as to whether or not charges are appropriate in this case."聽

All children at the daycare had been accounted for, police said, and parents were taking their kids home.聽
"As you can expect, parents were upset, so it was a bit of a chaotic scene when we first got here," Whitney said. "Once the dust settled we were able to establish what happened to a certain degree."聽
Officers are looking to speak with witnesses as well as anyone who might have dashcam footage of what happened. 聽
