American Victim Of Knife Attack Remembered Fondly

TALLAHASEE, Fla. (AP) — Friends and colleagues described 64-year-old Florida woman killed in a knife rampage in central London as a retired special education teacher who enjoyed tennis and doted on her husband.

Darlene Horton was enjoying time overseas with her husband, Rick Wagner, a Florida State psychology professor who had been teaching in the university's summer program. The Tallahassee Democrat reported that the semester ended Wednesday, and the couple was slated to return soon.

Officials say Horton died at the scene. Five others were injured by a Somali-Norwegian teenager wielding a knife earlier this week.

Friends was quoted as saying Wagner and Horton were devoted to the study abroad program and had been traveling overseas for several years.
