Dad beaten to death by angry mob while protecting kids after schoolyard fight: report
Fox News
Three to four men approached Christopher Michael Wright's home and demanded to speak with his son regarding a fight at school, seemingly intent on continuing the fight.
The boy, 14, had gotten in a fight at Brooklyn Park Middle School with another teen, and they wanted to continue the fight after school, but Wright told them he was not going to let them fight with the boy. His fiancée, Tracy Karopchinsky, told 11 News that the suspects had then turned their attention on Wright, telling him that if the boy would not fight, they would fight with him instead. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Anne Arundel County Police responded to calls of an assault and arrived on the scene shortly after 5 p.m. to find Wright already receiving treatment from county fire department personnel. Responders then rushed Wright to a local trauma center for treatment as his injuries were life-threatening.
