Investigators have said only that the assailant is a student in his 20s.<\/p>\n<p>Campus public safety officers detained the student and turned him over to Los Angeles city police on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The university identified the victim as Bosco Tjan, an expert on vision loss who focused on age-related ailments. He was the co-director of USC&#8217;s Dornsife Cognitive Neuroimaging Center and had taught at the school since 2001.<\/p>\n<p>The stabbing happened just days after an Ohio State student drove a car into a crowd outside a building at that university, then attacked people with a butcher knife. Authorities have not ruled out whether that attack was terrorism related.<\/p>\n<p>In Los Angeles, police hurried to say that students and the public at large weren&#8217;t in danger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was not a random act of violence,&#8221; USC&#8217;s Department of Public Safety said in a news release. &#8220;The Los Angeles Police Department believes this was the result of personal dispute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/03d066d1248f57b461ef00f5bc538ef6.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-92712\" src=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/03d066d1248f57b461ef00f5bc538ef6.png\" alt=\"03d066d1248f57b461ef00f5bc538ef6\" width=\"457\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/03d066d1248f57b461ef00f5bc538ef6.png 457w, https:\/\/breaking911.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/03d066d1248f57b461ef00f5bc538ef6-258x300.png 258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chris Purington, project manager at Tjan&#8217;s lab, told the Associated Press that Tjan was married with one son.

I know he cared about me,&#8221; Purington told the AP while crying. &#8220;He mentored people, and he looked out for them. He spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to be a mentor and guide people. . . .People talk about scientists as very cold or robotic.
