Beijing, China (Sports Network) - The father-in-law of United States Olympic men's indoor volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon was fatally stabbed Saturday by a knife-wielding Chinese attacker in downtown Beijing.
Todd Bachman was killed in the attack and his wife, Barbara, was seriously injured. Their daughter, 2004 U.S. Olympic women's indoor volleyball player Elisabeth Bachman McCutcheon, was with her parents at the time but was not hurt.
The incident took place on the second story of the Drum Tower, a popular tourist site in downtown Beijing. The assailant committed suicide by throwing himself off the tower.
