Columbus police said Candy Arthurs confronted the convict after he had lured several children into an alley under the pretext of looking for his missing drone in late June.
When Arthurs confronted Kristopher Amos he pulled out a knife and stabbed her in the chest as well as stabbing her seven-year-old grandson in the shoulder, according to police.
“My son and my daughter ran into the house and screamed ‘call 911!’” Amanda Gibson, told WBNS.
The 45-year-old grandmother was able to get back to her daughter’s house, where she collapsed at the front door. Arthurs died five weeks later from her injuries.
Her daughter witnessed the attack.
“She always said she would die for them and that’s exactly what she did,” Gibson said of her mother, according to WBNS.“She’s definitely a hero. It’s hard because she lost her life but she saved both of my kids’ lives that night.”
Amos had lived in the neighborhood for years, but neighbors weren’t aware he was a sex offender. He was convicted in 2010 of enticing children in a YMCA shower.
