Family: Tuesday Morning and Ctv News

family: Her mom flew into Vancouver after learning of the shocking assault committed Tuesday morning in the Salish House residences, according to CTV. Hare said the family was completely caught off guard by what happened. "She was doing really well at UBC up to then, and we had no apprehension for her safety," he said. Oregon resident Michael Hare told CTV News his daughter, Mary, has been released from hospital after being treated for a gash on her neck, and is being looked after by her family. Witnesses said they were studying in the dorms when they heard screaming, and rushed over to find the victim being held with a knife to her throat. The RCMP university detachment has suggested the incident was not random, and that the victim and suspect knew each other, but the young woman father said the accused was no more than "a nodding acquaintance" to his daughter. "She said that she may have spoken to him once or twice, but she didn't really recall that even," Hare said. "He was certainly not in their friend group." The victim is staying at a hotel, rather than returning to campus. A Good Samaritan with martial arts training helped apprehend a suspect and hold him down until Mounties arrived.
