American man beaten to death while protecting his son in a school fight

Christopher Michael Wright, 43, of Maryland, was bludgeoned to death outside his home while trying to protect his children from a group that wanted to break up a fight at school. According to a report from New York PostMr. Wright was outside his home when he was confronted by three teenagers and two adults looking for his fiancée’s 14-year-old son.

The 14-year-old had gotten into a fight with another teen at Brooklyn Park High School earlier that day. WBAL-TV informed.

When the man told the group that the boy would not leave his house to fight, they told him, “If he’s not going to fight, then you’re going to fight,” Wright’s fiancee, Tracy Karopchinsky, told the outlet.

The group attacked Wright and took him to a nearby hospital, where he died Saturday of a traumatic brain injury.

“Just looking at the damage that was done to him, it wasn’t just the punches that did that. Like, there’s no way that the punches did that. The damage was done before the ambulance took him away. I mean, he had I had a seizure. It was done. There was nothing the hospital could do,” Ms Karopchinsky said.

The fight was caught on a security camera.

“My dad and I try to get closer to the camera to look, and the first video that comes up is of my 12-year-old son yelling, ‘Daddy, daddy, daddy,’ and running out of the house and into the street to help someone. her dad,” Karopchinsky said. “And I couldn’t see anymore after that. I just couldn’t.”

An investigation is underway, and school officials also confirmed the fight at school.

So far, no charges have been filed against anyone.
