From article:
"The lady kept saying 'I'm dying, someone help' and it was just natural reaction," says Sarder. "I just see this lady getting stabbed. I only had like half a second to think and I unholstered my firearm and pointed it at her to drop the knife."

Sarder says he told the woman to stay put until she was arrested by police.

FOX 2: "You probably saved this woman's life."

"I hope so, I hope she makes it," Sarder says. "Maybe those few seconds before the police arrived could be the difference between life and death."

The victim, identified as Stephanie Kerr, is in critical condition, and is lucky the stabbing didn't continue any longer, according to city officials. All of which is why Sarder says he was surprised to have been fired on the spot by a GM employee and then escorted off the property.

From article:
"The mother was hugging the daughter and the daughter started stabbing her mother in the back," [Mayor] Fouts told the Free Press on Thursday. He said the mother helps raise the daughter's children, ages 11 and 12, and that authorities think the daughter -- who the mother said had some mental issues -- was upset about something.

...The daughter came to the tech center, asking for her mother by name. They talked in the lobby, Fouts has said, then went outside, where the daughter began stabbing her mother.

There were conflicting reports initially over whether the parking valet who halted the attack, Didarul Sarder of Warren, lost his job for bringing a gun to work.

Jill Nagel, spokeswoman for the Chicago-based valet service SP+ Corp., which contracts with GM, said Thursday that Sarder "is not nor was he ever terminated." She said Sarder was placed on suspension per company policy -- although she did not know if it was with or without pay -- until the incident is investigated internally.

Green said Thursday that police understood that Sarder’s employer is keeping him, but he will not be back at GM. Nagel said the decision on whether to keep Nagel at GM has not been determined.
