The gut instincts of one New Jersey mom might have been the one thing that saved the lives of hundreds of school kids in Kentucky. Koeberle Bull is from Lumberton Township, New Jersey. So how could she have known what was going to happen in Kentucky?

It all started with a hateful message on social media. The mother of three received a hateful and racially slanted message from a man that she didn’t even know. She thinks it was because he saw her social media profile picture of her with her three biracial children.

He called them names and wished horrible things upon them. Bull looked at his social media account and saw pictures of him with guns. Even though she tried to push the incident aside, something kept nagging at her.

Eventually she called her local police department to tell them about the incident and that she feared the man was dangerous and could cause some serious harm. She even called the Kentucky State Police just in case.

Authorities took her warnings very seriously and caught up with Dylan Jarrell just in time to prevent another major catastrophe. He was headed to a Kentucky school with a written plan of attack.

Not only that, but the 20-year-old was carrying over 200 rounds of ammunition, a 100-round high capacity magazine, a firearm, and a bulletproof vest. Officials say Bull’s warning and their quick actions definitely stopped another deadly attack on America’s school children.

Upon searching Jarrell’s home, authorities found even more clues about his bad intentions. He had recently Googled information about how to conduct a school shooting. He had also been questioned by FBI in recent months after making social media threats toward a school in Tennessee.

Jarrell is now in jail and is facing a variety of criminal charges, while the parents in the area are hailing one New Jersey mother as their new hero. Bull has been getting showered with thank you cards and letters and invites asking her to come and visit.

Bull’s advice – never ignore your gut instinct. She says if your survival instincts kick in, don’t be afraid to act on them. She’s just grateful that everything turned out okay and no one was injured.

If you found her actions courageous, be sure to share her heroic story with your family and friends. This woman deserves the recognition and applause.
