Registered Sex Offender Arrested for Attempted Kidnapping at Colorado Elementary School

Solomon Galligan, a 33-year-old registered sex offender, was apprehended after allegedly trying to abduct a child during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado.

Overview

  • The incident occurred last Friday when Galligan, carrying a white blanket, approached children on the school playground.
  • Students alerted adults by screaming 'stranger danger' as Galligan attempted to grab a child but tripped, allowing the child to escape.
  • Galligan fled the scene but was later arrested at a nearby Walgreens; he is now held on a $25,000 bail.
  • The school has since increased security measures and communicated with parents to ensure student safety.
  • Galligan is set to face court on Thursday, facing charges of attempted kidnapping.
