UFC star Conor McGregor reveals he sends daughter to school with ARMED GUARD
CONOR MCGREGOR has revealed he’s been sending his daughter to school with an armed guard following a recent mass shooting in America.
The Notorious is currently in Orlando with fiancee Dee Devlin and their young family after a stint in Las Vegas filming season 31 of the Ultimate Fighter.
McGregor’s son and daughter, Conor Jr and Croia, have been attending school in the States during their time away from Ireland.
And the Dubliner has made sure to beef up his kids’ security with the presence of an armed guard.
In a since-deleted tweet, the UFC superstar wrote: “Just got an ‘Amber alert’ to my phone while here in Orlando.
“A smart and quick set-up that alerts everyone there is a child missing and with full description and detail also. Very smart.
“I would like to see armed protection at each school also.
“I have had my children at school here while stateside and have had my own armed guard present at the school.”
McGregor then claimed the perpetrator of the Nashville shooting, Audrey Elizabeth Hale, would’ve been taken out by his guard had she stormed his children’s school.
The 34-year-old continued: “This was prior to the most recent school shooting also.

“If she shot her way into that school from the outside, my guard, who is tucked away, armed and unseen, would have seen her and taken her down.
“Saving those children’s lives. May God and his best people on this earth protect our children!”
McGregor’s calls for armed guards in American schools was hastily deleted after fans lambasted him for the controversial take.
MMA superstar McGregor is currently gearing up for his eagerly-anticipated return to the octagon against Michael Chandler.
A date for the pair’s showdown has not yet been finalised as McGregor has yet to re-enter the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s testing pool – which he must be in for a minimum of six months before being eligible to compete.
And he’s confident of returning to the win column in emphatic fashion, telling The MacLife: “I think I’m just going to slice through him.
“I think I’m a little too slicy for him than anyone else he’s fought.
“A little too snappy and whippy. I think I’ll slice through him.”
