Cora Vides, an 18-year-old senior at Santa Barbara’s Laguna Blanca School, has been charged with attempted murder after police say she viciously stabbed a fellow student last Saturday evening.
The attack reportedly took place at Vides’s family home on the Mesa while her parents were inside the house. Authorities have released few details about the case, other than to say it was an “isolated incident.”
The female victim sustained severe injuries to her throat and neck but is expected to survive. She has been transferred to a Los Angeles–area hospital for continued medical care.
