Mayor Patrick Brown said Jasmail Kaur Mann's heroism "puts everyone else to shame," and that's why city council unanimously passed a motion to honour her and "to celebrate this moment of courage."
Brown said after people found out about the attack, council members and people in the community all talked about what "this remarkable senior citizen" did. She said she went outside and told them that she had already called the police and they were on their way. Police are still trying to find the assailants, and there's no word from police about a motive for the attack.Mann's mother said whenever she remembers the attack it still brings tears to her eyes, adding that she wants the attackers to be found and for justice to be served.
"Some have advised them to move but they love their home, they want to stay in their home but there is fear that they still feel," she said.
