Prosecutors in Colorado plan to drop charges against a registered sex offender who attempted to kidnap a child in broad daylight from school.
Townhall reported on this shocking incident when it occurred in 2024. The incident occurred at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado.
In the footage, Solomon Galligan, 33, walked onto school property, approaching a group of students. Galligan then lunged at a child and fell over. Children sprinted away from him and toward teachers’ assistants.

On Friday, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which covers Aurora, informed FOX31 that it intends to dismiss charges against Galligan. Galligan faces one count of attempted kidnapping.
Reportedly, after his arrest, Galligan underwent a mental competency evaluation that determined he was unfit to stand trial. As a result, prosecutors claimed they have to drop the charges.
“It’s super scary to watch,” Dante White, whose child encountered the suspect, told FOX31 at the time the incident happened. He added: “I would be freaked out if that guy touched me. It was an attempted kidnapping.”
