Calif. school worker stabbed in parking lot

POMONA, Calif. - An employee of the Pomona, Calif. Unified School District is recovering after being stabbed in the back during a lunch break from work on Tuesday, reports CBS Los Angeles.

Police say the attack on Amy Blevins occurred in a parking lot after she and the attacker "exchanged pleasantries."

Blevins' mother, Tamara, shared that her daughter's attacker appeared to be happy as he stabbed her and ran away, reports the station.

"He just had a smile on his face, like how happy he was that he got to stab somebody," Tamara Blevins said told the station.

She also added that her daughter did not recognize the attacker, and that she was not robbed. She said her daughter is expected to recover.

"She's alright," Tamara Blevins told CBS Los Angeles. "They didn't hit any vital organs or anything, she's alright."

Police reportedly hope that video surveillance of the parking lot will lead them to the attacker.

The suspect was reported to have been driving a black truck, but police have no detailed description of him.
