ABSTRACT
Apparently, Cathryn's boyfriend, Nathan, had come to visit her and had been staying in her room for about a week. While Cathryn was in class, Nathan stayed in her room and watched TV. That day, he decided to sign onto Instant Messenger with Cathryn's screenname and started IM'ing people pretending to be Cathryn. One of the people he IM'ed was Cathryn's male friend from home. Nathan started typing things like "I've always liked you" and other suggestive stuffin an attempt to get a reaction from the guy he was IM'ing. The guy from back home thought Cathryn was joking and started to joke back, "Is that why you're always trying to make-out with me?" Nathan, in a jealous fit, didn't take it as a joke. When Cathryn returned from class with Diane, Nathan began to scream and curse at Cathryn, calling her horrible names and saying really mean stuff. He was so enraged and so out of control that he picked up a pair of scissors from Cathryn's desk and stabbed himself in the neck with them. The residents next door were alert enough to call Campus Police almost immediately. The police arrived quickly and got the boyfriend to an ambulance.
