LAS VEGAS — A 23-year-old blonde from Brooklyn’s Park Slope won the Miss America crown Saturday night after responding to a question about armed guards in schools, saying she opposed fighting violence with violence.
En route to her victory in the Las Vegas pageant, Mallory Hagan also tap danced to James Brown’s “Get Up Off of That Thing,” strutted down the runway in an asymmetrical white gown, and donned a revealing black string bikini.
