A loaded handgun was found perched atop a diaper-changing table in a bathroom near the children’s play area Tuesday at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper.
“I’m shaking,” said Crystal Mundt, who was trying to corral her 3-year-old and 10-month-old children into the bathroom about 12:40 p.m. when she found another woman on the phone with 911 dispatchers. She saw the gun on the changing table and “just high-tailed it out of there,” she said, alerting an aquarium employee at the Tuki’s Island indoor playground next to the bathroom.
“You don’t expect to have to do a weapons sweep before entering a bathroom adjacent to a child’s play area,” Mundt said.
