3/10/05- Vista, CA – Man Attacks Ex-wife with Tire Iron

At around 9 a.m., Harry Hemphill, 41, walked into his ex-wife’s workplace and severely beat her with a tire iron. He went straight to her office and locked her in there with him at Maric College, a technical college. Other co-workers tried to rescue her but he inflicted serious wounds to her head. He then fled the scene only to be captured later that night. As the college also had a nursing school, the victim was able to receive immediate medical attention before she was transferred to a hospital.
