This is the moment a gunman's attempted robbery on young children and families waiting outside a school in Sao Paulo was foiled by a mother who turned out to be an off-duty armed policewoman.
Security cameras outside the private school in Sao Paulo caught the dramatic moment on Saturday morning around 8am.
