Hundreds gather for a vigil at UBC Okanagan campus for a security guard who was fatally assaulted

Hundreds of people have gathered for a vigil at the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus for a security guard who was fatally assaulted at work last weekend.

24 year old Harmandeep Kaur died in a Kelowna hospital after being attacked early last Saturday morning.

RCMP say a suspect who was also working at the university was arrested under the Mental Health Act and could face a murder charge.

UBCO deputy vice-chancellor Lesley Cormack says flags at the campus were also being lowered in memory of Kaur.
