Special Moments turn terrifying as day care center attempted robber is shot

Do these people have any limits on what they are willing to do, who they find it acceptable to target in the commission of a crime? You would think that any human, even the lowest of the lows, would not stoop so low as to break into a day care center of all places! These children ended up being terrorized just so that some criminals could take what was not their's and in the process, ended up taking the place these children felt safe.

Police officers, responding to an attempted robbery at a Brooklyn day care center on Friday afternoon, shot a man who had stormed into the center and pointed a gun at arriving officers as a group of frightened children stood nearby, the authorities said.

The shooting unfolded at the Special Moments Daycare in East Flatbush after two men entered intent on stealing money, the police said. At the time, about a dozen children, mostly toddlers, were napping in a room on the building’s ground floor.

None of the children were harmed, but one of the robbers, identified by the police as Gavin Nugent, pointed his weapon at the officers, who then opened fire. He was hit at least twice and was in stable condition at Kings County Hospital Center.

The other intruder was taken into custody, as was a third man who the police said stood outside as a lookout.
