Nateara Hasbrouck said July 20 was a regular Saturday. Because she’s partially deaf she couldn’t hear when that changed.
“So unless he hit the wall I wouldn’t have known that something was happening in my mother’s room. Once I heard her scream it was too late,” said Hasbrouck.
Her younger brother, 22-year-old Marques Hasbrouck, had attacked family members.
“I tried to call 911 and I was on hold for the first two times and I didn’t know what was going on. And I was like forget it and just get out of there . . . Once I got to the front door, I heard a whack. That was my back getting hit by the sword,” she said.
She was injured. She said she suffered six injuries including a brain injury and skull fracture and injuries to her shoulder, arm and leg.
“So I have a brain injury and a broken shoulder. Even if I didn’t have this leg wound, I probably wouldn’t be able to walk on my own because of the brain injury. But after that day I couldn’t walk on my two feet without three people holding me up,” she said.
