FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) A man fatally shot himself in the day care center he co-owned as investigators showed up to serve him a search warrant on child abuse allegations, Okaloosa County authorities said.
Jan Ritchie, 51, locked himself in a bathroom at Patti's Day Care where he suffered a bullet wound to the head about 10 a.m. Thursday, sheriff officials said.
Six children in the daycare center were moved to a secure location when investigators arrived. Authorities forced their way in the bathroom when they heard a gunshot.
"None of the kids were in the proximity of the gunshot," said Maj. Larry Donaldson with the sheriff's office.
Authorities have not released details regarding the child abuse allegations against Ritchie.
"We were participating in an ongoing investigation with the Department of Children & Family Services," Donaldson said
