The man is in jail and the family says they know that Haruka would've wanted them to keep living life to the fullest and to not be stuck in sadness.
What a horrible story! This proves that we must stay aware of our surroundings and maintain defense. Crazy that this happened at UT which is where a lot of us know people who attend there. Whether it's at a school close to us or not, we must remember to stay attentive and be careful! What a tragic story it is.
This story is scary and sad because going to college soon is nerve wracking enough, but now this is happening.
