Moment Utah 'child snatcher' is arrested after hero teacher armed with GUN 'stopped him abducting girl, 11, from elementary school playground

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Police arrested Ira Cox-Berry, 41, after he allegedly snatched an 11-year-old girl while she was playing on the playground at Lincoln Elementary School in Ogden

  • Before Cox-Berry could get away with the girl an armed school employee shouted and demanded he leave and ushered students into a nearby classroom

  • After the children were inside the school, Cox-Berry approached the school building and began punching the window in an attempt to force his way inside

  • The school worker, who has a concealed-weapons permit, pulled out his gun and held off the 41-year-old while he called 911

  • Police arrived and arrested Cox-Berry after a brief struggle and charged him with attempted child kidnapping
Moved to Land of the Free because the armed teacher prevented a tragedy. Would that it was always the case — and here’s hoping he doesn’t get in trouble for it.
