Minneapolis mother witnesses tragic murder-suicide involving 2-year-old
The Brief Just after midnight Monday, 2-year-old Kinsley was shot and killed by her father. He then turned the gun on himself. Kinsley's mother, Trisha Prinsen, says her boyfriend struggled with mental health, but Sunday had a crisis and behavior she had never seen before. Prinsen says she and her daughter were held hostage in their own home, unable to call for help before the shooting. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A Minneapolis mother is dealing with tragedy after her 2-year-old daughter was shot and killed by her father, who then turned the gun on himself. What we know Police were called to the family's home on the 2900 block of Colfax Avenue North just after midnight Monday. They arrived to find the 2-year-old girl and her father both deceased. Trisha Prinsen says she and her daughter were not allowed to leave the home, and essentially held hostage. Her boyfriend was armed and having a mental crisis. She was able to text two friends to call police, but nothing happened. She did not know you can text 911 for help. What they're saying Trisha Prinsen says although she is angry and sad, her daughter loved her father very much, and that she loved him too. Prinsen says, "I still love him. It's gonna take me a while to forgive him but I still love him." At the height of the crisis, Kinsley went to hug her father, and that's when he shot her and turned the gun on himself. This happened right in front of Prinsen. "Really he just went into a mental psychosis thought people were living under the house, people were watching him. I can't explain it. I couldn't understand where his thinking had gone, he had never been like this before." Prinsen said. Prinsen went onto say, "I'll never be able to take away the images losing her, watching him do that in front of me. I'll never be able to take those images out of my head." Big picture view Prinsen hopes by sharing her story, it will help to raise mental health awareness. She hopes if someone is going through a crisis, or a loved one is struggling they will go get help. She also wants to spread the word that you can text 911, as she didn't know that and it may have helped to prevent such a horrible tragedy. What you can do Trisha is hoping to get help for funeral expenses through a GoFundMe.

Middletown High School Holds Annual ‘Experience Our Programs' Event
ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.–Middletown High School hosted its annual 'Experience Our Programs' event on May 9, in which all the Middletown School District public schools presented what their classes and programs had created. Hundreds of students from public schools all over Middletown milled around presentation tables and exhibits, and 1,300 parents, friends, and visitors jostled through the school. Artwork from the district's 7,500 students filled halls and classrooms. Some students donated their art to be auctioned, hoping to fund a student's art degree. A sixth-grade social studies class hosted a game show in the library. The district Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps showed its students' drone flying abilities. Students in the biomedical program taught visitors simple medical procedures. Kinsley told The Epoch Times about her third-grade class's book that she helped write. Her class has made a book every year for the past three years. The class recorded their voices reading the book and made QR codes to let people listen to them. This year's book is called 'A Spooky Story,' and the goal was to help the students learn about the writing process, including prewriting, drafting, and editing. The teachers also helped with grammar, spelling, and overall understandability of the story. Related Stories 3/19/2025 3/5/2025 Kinsley described the process of making the story: 'It was hard and kind of easy. And it was really easy to figure out what I wanted to write about.' The Middletown school district has joined a global movement teaching the 'Leader in Me' program in schools. Middletown is in its first year of the program, so currently, the teachers are receiving training on how to apply the curriculum in their classes. The Leader in Me program aims to inspire leadership in students, using principles from the books 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' and 'The 4 Disciplines of Execution.' The curriculum will be included in classes starting next school year, Christine Dumais told The Epoch Times. Dumais is the cultural co-lead, one of the two people in charge of running the Leader in Me program in Middletown. Dumais described the reason why the school decided to start implementing the Leader in Me curriculum. 'We want our students to be more independent and to take more ownership over their work,' she said. 'Leader in Me' Middletown School District organizer Christine Dumais holds "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," the book the Leader in Me program is based on, during the "Experience Our Programs" event at Middletown High School on May 9, 2025. Oliver Mantyk/The Epoch Times Middletown High School student Jadiella spoke about the biomedical section of 'Project Lead The Way.' Project Lead The Way is a program that helps students make advances in STEM fields such as medicine, engineering, and computer science. Students in the first year of the program learn about crime scenes and cause of death analysis. The second year goes into human body systems. In the third year, students learn about medical intervention, teaching them what to do in medical emergencies. Students learn more advanced medical and surgical techniques in the fourth year. Students who complete the program receive a Certificate in Medicine, which in some cases leads to job opportunities in the medical field. 'It's really fun. It's very interactive, which I was very happy with. There's lots of dissecting and hands-on, which is great,' Jediella told The Epoch Times. ' It's not so boring, just learning and absorbing, because it's a lot of hard information. Some definitely want to be hands-on.' Middletown High School and "Project Lead The Way" student Jadiella during the "Experience Our Programs" event on May 9, 2025. Oliver Mantyk/The Epoch Times Middletown Mayor Joseph DeStefano has three grandkids in the school district and is himself a graduate of Middletown High School. He visits the event every year. 'When we bring business leaders and community leaders into the school district, into these schools and they see what's being provided here, they're just so impressed. And I think it's a big plus for industry and economic development and the community,' DeStefano told The Epoch Times.

ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Twelve-year-old Kinsley Fischer of Salem has made a major impact in her community by organizing a large-scale toy drive to benefit Carilion Children's Hospital. After learning that the hospital was running low on toys for its young patients and their families, Kinsley took action—partnering with the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs and the Salem Red Sox to rally support. The toy drive was hosted during 'Baseball Night' with the Salem Red Sox on March 28, and thanks to Kinsley's efforts and the support of fans and community members, just under 800 items were collected for donation. On Tuesday, Kinsley delivered the donated toys to Carilion Children's Hospital, accompanied by the mascots from both the Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs and the Salem Red Sox. The group visited children currently staying in the hospital as they delivered toys and lifted spirits on the Children's floor. Kinsley's leadership, compassion, and dedication to helping others have made her a shining example of the difference one person can make. Both teams were honored to support her mission and are proud to be part of this meaningful community initiative. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
