11-Year-Old Girl Saved From Kidnapping Attempt Thanks To Nearby Armed Citizen

By Brandon Curtis

PHOENIX, ARIZONA — An armed citizen is credited with stopping the attempted kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl in Phoenix while she was on her way to school.

The suspect, who police are still searching for, is said to have grabbed the girl’s arm and put it behind her back, and then put his arm over her face.

An alert man in the area noticed what was happening, and he knocked the suspect down and away from the girl. He then drew a gun on the suspect, telling him to leave the girl alone.

Police say the suspect is a black man with a very dark complexion, green eyes and has a stud-style nose ring in his left nostril. He was wearing a black hoodie.

Let’s hope that police are able to catch up with the suspect, so that he’s not able to be successful in any future attempts that he may be pondering.

Meanwhile, the school principal sent out a letter to the parents of children at the school, letting them know about what happened and ways to keep everyone safe;
