‘She’s my hero’: Grandmother stabbed to death while trying to save children from sex offender
A 29-year-old man was wandering an Ohio neighborhood with a remote control and a made-up story about a missing drone, asking children for help, police said.
On a Thursday night in June, Candy Arthurs learned that Kristopher Amos, who turned out to be a registered sex offender, was with her 7-year-old grandson and 8-year-old granddaughter in a Columbus, Ohio, alley, police told the Columbus Dispatch.
When she confronted him, he pulled out a large knife and stabbed her in the heart, authorities said.
“Ten minutes go by and I hear screams of my children,” the children’s mother, Amanda Gibson, wrote on a GoFundMe page for their grandmother.
In the early hours of Wednesday — six weeks after the June 23 attack — the 45-year-old grandmother died from her injuries, police said in a news release.
