SAN ANTONIO - A woman is in critical condition after she was stabbed outside her child's school Tuesday morning.

The attack happened around 10:00 a.m. Tuesday outside the Bonham Academy on St. Mary's Street. Teresa Barron, 38, had just dropped off her child at the school when the child's father showed up, and the two got into an argument. The child's father, 38-year-old Roberto Barron allegedly then stabbed the woman several times in the upper body and neck area.

Police say a bystander who happened to be a concealed handgun license holder pulled his weapon and ordered Barron to drop the knife. Barron surrendered and was taken into custody by the bystander and a school district officer.

The woman was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center.

Barron was arrested for aggravated assault, and is in jail on a $150,000 bond.

    That would be a distinct possibility in some states. Another reason for some uniform rules we could all abide by. BTW, I hope I would react the same as the hero in this case.

    Given the very sketchy details in the story, it sounds like just shooting the perp would have been an option. He was attacking, and attempting to murder, the mom. The shooter showed restraint, and no doubt saved the mom's life.

    One more stab might have had her killed. She will probably remain anti gun?
