New York City is no stranger to senseless shootings at youth centers.
In 2020, a shirtless gunman opened fire near a day care in the Bronx and sparked a gunfight.
Eight children were inside the day care at the time. The center's owner wasn't surprised, but noted that the tykes could've been in serious danger if they'd been leaving when the shooting broke out.
In 2022, a 3-year-old girl was struck by a stray bullet outside a day care in Brooklyn. She was hit in the shoulder and had to wear a sling on her arm while she recovered.
The child's distraught parents, meanwhile, took the horrific injury as a sign to pack up and leave the area as soon as they could.

Beloved CA cafe owner with ‘kind soul' shot dead at Nevada casino, friends say
A Southern California restaurateur described by friends as a 'kind soul' is among three people killed in a shooting outside a Reno casino, Nevada police reported. Andrew Canepa, 33, died in a shooting spree Monday, July 28, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, along with two others, Sparks police said in a news release. Four others were injured, including the accused gunman, police said. Canepa co-owned the Side Street Café in Newbury Park near Los Angeles, KABC reported. 'Andrew was a kind soul, a dedicated business owner, and a loving father to his young son,' wrote Andrew Gorell, a Ventura County supervisor, on X, formerly known as Twitter. Canepa, who had a 6-year-old son, was remembered for his welcoming presence at the café, a popular breakfast spot, KTLA said. 'He would sit down with people at the booth, share with them and make them feel at home,' friend Rick Bucaria told the station. 'Andrew was so warm and welcoming. He was always so happy.' 'He probably greeted and waited on almost everybody in this city,' friend Israel Rodriguez told KTLA. Canepa and a friend, Justin Aguila, 33, of Southern California, were in the Reno area for a bachelor party, police said in the release. They were shot in the back and killed while waiting outside the casino for a ride to the airport, police said. Angel Martinez, 66, of Reno, also died when he was shot while driving through the parking lot, police said. Two others are hospitalized but expected to recover, and one person was treated and released, police said in an earlier news release. Dakota Hawver, 26, of Reno, hospitalized in critical condition after being shot by an officer, is accused of firing more than 80 rounds from a 9mm pistol in the incident, police said. Authorities in Sparks, just outside Reno, are leading the investigation because it involves a police shooting, the release said. Investigators have not found a connection between Hawver and any of the victims or the casino, police said. Police ask anyone with information to call 775-353-2231. Newbury Park is about a 45-mile drive northwest from downtown Los Angeles.

Family of motorcyclists killed in Santa Cruz Mountains crash seeks answers
The family of a Hayward couple is seeking answers after a head-on crash with a Tesla killed the pair as they were riding a motorcycle on a winding highway in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Saturday. The couple's daughter identified the pair as Ernest Latta, 61, and Lisa Latta, 59. 'They were opposites, but they were the best pair,' Christina Gonzales Latta said of her parents. 'They were like French fries and ice cream.' She added: 'The love they had was the strongest I've ever known.' The couple was riding a Harley-Davidson south on Highway 9, south of Highway 35, around 4:45 p.m. when the motorcycle and a northbound Tesla Model 3 collided head-on, the California Highway Patrol said. The impact threw the couple onto the road, where they died. The Tesla driver, an 18-year-old San Jose woman, was not injured, the CHP said. As of Wednesday, no one was arrested and the crash remained under investigation, the CHP said. The agency released few other details. Gonzales Latta described her step-father as an avid motorcyclist who prioritized safety, especially with her mom on the bike. 'He's a protector,' Gonzales Latta said. For that reason, Gonzales Latta suspects the Tesla driver was at fault, she said, adding that she wonders whether the driver was texting or speeding. 'I don't know why my mom and dad are gone,' she said. 'It's very hard.' She said she believes her parents, who were together for 40 years, were headed to Santa Cruz to eat at a nice restaurant. The couple commonly rode to coastal cities on weekends. With a shared love for the ocean, Santa Cruz and Monterey were among their favorite destinations, Gonzales Latta said. She remembered her step-father as a quiet, humble, intelligent and adventurous man. Her mother was loud, thoughtful and caring, she said. Lisa Latta had her when she was 17. 'We grew up together,' Gonzales Latta said. The couple met in San Jose when Gonzales Latta was 2 after her mother relocated from Staten Island in search of a better life for Gonzales Latta and her brother. Their family later grew when Ernest and Lisa Latta had a son. Gonzales Latta said something felt wrong Saturday after her parents did not come home to pick up their 7-month-old Yorkie, named Arlington. Concerned for her parents, Gonzales Latta called hospitals across the Bay Area. It wasn't until authorities called her and referred her to the Santa Cruz County coroner the next day that she learned the tragic news. She said she hopes for justice for her parents. For now, she feels a sense of peace because 'they're always going to be together now,' she said. As for Arlington, Lisa Latta's brother took him in. 'For him, that's a piece of her,' Gonzales Latta said. The family created a GoFundMe page to raise funds for funeral expenses. Gonzales Latta said her immediate priority was to make arrangements for her parents' funeral. 'After I lay my parents to rest,' she said, 'I need answers.'
