NYPD discovers 3D printed ghost guns in East Harlem day care as city reels from baby's fentanyl exposure death
Fox News
New York City officials said ghost gun materials were found at a Manhattan day care after the death of a 1-year-old at a different day care in the Bronx.
The announcement comes on the heels of the death of 1-year-old Nicholas Dominici at a Bronx day care Sep. 15. Three other children was hospitalized from fentanyl exposure despite the day care passing a surprise inspection on Sept. 6. Adams' administration faced criticism after City Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan admitted that "my child care inspectors are not trained to do is look for fentanyl, but maybe they need to." The day care operator and her tenant were initially arrested, and the operator's husband was nabbed in Sinaloa, Mexico this week.

"We just want to really say to the parents who are dropping their children off every day to these centers that we are going to remain vigilant," Adams said Wednesday. "We're going to continually modify the rules like they have been modified throughout the years to stay ahead of bad people that are doing bad things in environments where our children are."
"Who would have thought that we must add to our list of inspections of do we have 3D printers that can print guns?" the mayor posed. "Do we see the presence of various items like fentanyl and other items? These new methods of creating unsafe environments demand that we stay ahead of those who are doing terrible things in centers where we place our children."
