Mara was taken to Banner Thunderbird Hospital and underwent surgery for stab wounds to her tricep and her ribcage area, where the knife cut into her spleen.She's back home now, but has a long recovery ahead.McCormick says he was not the only person in the class to step in and help Mara."It was a great job by everybody that was in that room; by the EMTs, the paramedics and police. Everybody responded really, really well.
