“We didn’t know he was free”: 2nd victim of alleged BC hammer attack mourns loss of friend

From Global News.

Carrie Wiebe is still recovering — not just from the physical injuries she suffered, but from the trauma of surviving an attack that claimed the life of her friend, Bailey McCourt.

On July 4, the two women were on their lunch break in a Kelowna, B.C., parking lot when they were allegedly attacked with a hammer. McCourt didn’t survive. Wiebe suffered multiple injuries, including bruising on her brain, and multiple bruises on her body.

The bruises on her body serve as a daily reminder of the violence she endured. She calls them defensive wounds — proof of her attempt to protect both herself and McCourt.

“I do feel like I failed,” Wiebe said. “Like I could have kept her alive. I struggle with that every day," she added.
