‘Scared for my life’: Inside the terror of the University of Waterloo stabbings | Globalnews.ca

“While the man was listening to a reply, he put down his backpack in front of him at his feet, and he pulled out a knife. It still had like one of those sheaths or covers on it, like a plastic one.”

James Chow says he was in the gender studies class when a professor and two students were stabbed on June 28, 2023.In the heat of the moment, Chow says he decided he needed to “at least attack him or injure him” so he says threw a chair at the suspect as he cornered the professor in the back of the room. The professor was covering her face and screaming, Chow says.

One of the other students also called 911 and Chow and other students who were “not crying hysterically” screamed at anyone headed towards the building not to go in. Police say there were 40 people in the classroom at the time of the attack with the victims being the professor, “a 38-year-old Kitchener female, and two students: a 20-year-old Waterloo female and a 19-year-old Waterloo male.”

“While he was socially awkward, he had a natural ability to pick up on things easily,” he said. “He was keen on learning.”When asked about the stabbing taking place in a gender-based studies class, George noted that he didn’t think it was hate-motivated.
