Member of Bruin Family Killed in China

Bumped. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Bruin Nation go out to the Bachmans. GO BRUINS. -N

Sad new:  The parents of former UCLA volleyball player Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman were attacked while visiting a point of interest in Beijing.

According to Tony Pierce at the L.A. Times

In a stunning and tragic event, Todd and Barbara Bachman, parents of a former Bruin volleyball player and the in-laws of the current U.S. men's volleyball coach, were attacked Saturday in Beijing. Todd Bachman died of stab wounds, and his wife remains hospitalized in serious condition.

This is a deeply saddening turn of events. Our hearts go out the Bachman family and we hope that Barbara Bachman recovers fully from her injuries.

Just WOW

I read this story today. Didn’t see the UCLA angle in the Wash Post article. How terrible. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

It was horrible enough

To know that they were such a big part of the Bruin family makes this so much worse. As if this Olympics wasn’t tainted enough, now there’s a cold blooded murder on the books.

How horrible.

Prayers to Mr. Bachman and his family. God be with all of them.
