The sister of a British Columbia woman who took on a stabbing suspect with an umbrella says her sibling always does what she believes is right.
Sheloah Klausen, a school teacher in North Vancouver, was at the Lynn Valley public library on Saturday to attend a book fair with her daughter.
Leah Michayluk says when her sister saw a man stab a woman in the library, she ordered her 10-year-old daughter to hide and grabbed a nearby umbrella to intervene.
Klausen has injuries to her neck, head and hands, and Michayluk says a bystander who pressed napkins to the cut artery in her sister's neck likely saved her life.
One woman was killed in the attack and six others were injured.
28 year old Yannick Bandaogo faces a second-degree murder charge and is due back in court on Thursday.
