Church Honors Woman As 'Mother Of The Year' For Taking Fake Gun From Kid

(CBS) -- She has no children of her own, but Sunday, a South Side church honored a woman with the title, "Mother of the Year."

In a video taken a little more than two weeks ago, Stacie Davis snatched a fake gun out of the hands of an 11-year-old walking down the street and gained worldwide internet attention.

On Sunday, hundreds of parishioners of Sweet Holy Spirit Church of Chicago recognized Davis as a hero.

Bishop Larry Trotter called the confrontation life-saving.

Davis dedicated the award to all mothers who lost children to gun violence.

The city of Harvey is also planning a special honor for Ms. Davis at the next city council meeting.
