Navy veteran student recounts saving his ASU classmate from stabbing attack: ‘Compelled to do something’
Mara Daffron was allegedly stabbed twice in her ASU classroom by fellow student Kaci Sloan
By Sarah Rumpf-Whitten
The quick action of a Navy veteran turned Arizona State University student may have saved the life of a fellow student, who was repeatedly stabbed in a seemingly random attack on campus.On Sept. 19, Kaci Sloan, 19, allegedly lunged at Mara Daffron, 19, as the pair arrived for class at ASU’s West Valley campus in Glendale.
Police said that Sloan stabbed Mara twice before classmate and Navy veteran, Matthew McCormick, intervened.
“I’ve never seen anything like this and I hope I never do again,” McCormick told FOX 10 Phoenix.
The veteran said that he was settling in his microeconomics class when he spotted Sloan lunging towards Daffron, saying that he immediately felt “compelled” to do something to help the situation.
“In that moment, I didn’t really have a thought going through my head, I just knew that I felt compelled to do something,” McCormick said.
I just knew that I felt compelled to do something…
McCormick’s quick action stopped Sloan – as she was going in for a third strike.
“As she was going for a third attack, I was able to grab her wrists and apprehend her before further damage could be done,” he said.
Police corroborated McCormick’s account in a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, saying that one of the witnesses “was able to disarm the defendant by pulling the knife away from the defendant’s right hand and threw it [sic] away from them.” Another witness then “kicked the knife to the back of the classroom.”

BZ Mr. McCormick, for stepping up. Thanks to the several Usual Suspects who sent this one in.

First to comment? This late in the morning? DaHell everybody at? I admit that I got lost in the linky on the gun pr0n and burned up some time checking the comments that came in late last night, but…still?
The Nashville vic may have been nekkid but he wasn’t afraid. The perp musta been distracted by those big brass ones hanging from the vic.
The pictures of Ms Stabby says it all.
Looks like Lord Acton foresaw the future quite well, didn’t he? And here we are…with an absolutely corrupt grubermint.
Nothing like a solid documentation of a weapon and the soldier that carried it. There’s a cemetery in Nebraska City, Nebraska that has some 2nd KS Vets buried alongside some Confederate Vets. It’s very well maintained and cared for. That whole “Border War” was just as nasty and bloody as anything that was seen in the other theaters.
Surprised ASU and academia haven’t kicked out McCormick yet from school for “behavioral issues” for intervening.
