An Arizona State University student has been charged with first-degree attempted murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and disorderly conduct following an incident in a Glendale classroom on Sept. 19. The accused, a 19-year-old student named Kaci Lenise-Charlie Sloan, allegedly stabbed her peer, Mara Daffron, twice in what appears to be a random attack.
Witnesses, including student Matthew McCormick, described the harrowing event. McCormick intervened to stop the attack, potentially saving Daffron's life. Approximately 13 witnesses, including a professor, recounted the incident to police, stating that the stabbing occurred without provocation or any words spoken.
