A 911 call about the shooting was received just before 6 pm.

According to the Bradford County Sheriff’s Office, the man who died and the suspect were both at Auntie Lili’s Child Care Center to pick up their children.

The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Mindy Osteen, allegedly shot 37-year-old Christopher Jones multiple times outside the daycare. She was taken into custody, and the gun used to shoot the man was soon recovered. No children were injured.

The man was transported to a local emergency room, where he was pronounced dead, according to the sheriff.

Officials say both parents had a history of domestic violence. A search through jail records shows Osteen having been arrested several times since 2013 on charges including battery, fraud, drug possession, and producing meth.
