Police say an 8-year-old Colorado girl bravely defends herself against kidnapper in clown mask


An 8-year-old girl in Colorado fought off an intruder wearing a clown mask who tried to kidnap her during a break-in at her family’s home. The suspect, Thomas Gallegos, 56, was arrested on suspicion of attempted kidnapping, assault, child abuse, and burglary. Gallegos had helped the girl’s family install a washer and dryer two days before the incident. According to court documents, the intruder entered the girl’s room, blindfolded her, and struck her in the head, leaving her unconscious. The victim suffered injuries to her eye and head that required staples. A clown mask and gloves were found in the girl’s room, and investigators identified Gallegos as a suspect through surveillance video and location data from the girl’s phone. During an interview, Gallegos denied the allegations and his wife confirmed he was the man seen in the surveillance video carrying a clown mask. Gallegos’ wife said the mask belonged to their grandson. Gallegos has not had a lawyer speak on his behalf, and the investigation is ongoing. The girl showed incredible courage and resilience in fighting off the intruder and alerting her mother after the attack.
