I think Copeland should get back with her, she has proven to be a ride or die chick. Look at the situation like this, Copeland is in ICU with knife wounds to his left elbow, abdomen and hands. His diaphragm was also punctured. His attacker wasn’t trying to scare him, he was trying to kill him. Who knows what would have happened if his Ex-girlfriend didn’t do something. There are two different accounts of why the man started stabbing Copeland (I’ll tell you which one I believe to be true in a second), but everyone agrees the Ex-girlfriend put her life on the line for him. Here are the details via ESPN.
A 28-year-old woman, Katrine Saltara, was also stabbed, police said. Saltara, who lives in New York, and Copeland had been engaged.
Police said Copeland and Katrine Saltara were arguing on the street as the attacker eavesdropped and started to interfere. The dispute escalated until the suspect pulled out a knife and started slashing, police said. Copeland’s driver grabbed the suspect and held him until officers arrived.
However, a source disputed the police account, saying Copeland and Saltara were having a conversation outside the club when they were approached by a stranger. According to the source, Copeland told the person he had to go, and the person took it the wrong way, then pulled out his knife and stabbed the Pacers forward in the stomach. Saltara then jumped on the attacker’s back and tried to put him in a chokehold, but she got slashed.
What I was told is a combination of everything you read above. That Copeland and Saltara were arguing or discussing something when the party promoter try to talk to Copeland about supporting his event. At that point Copeland dismissed him (not politely like some reports have said) and that is when the party promoter lost his mind and started stabbing him. Then his Ex-girlfriend then went Ronda Rousey on him and was stabbed herself.
Wild story, be safe out there.
