She told police that, fearing for her life, she ran, but Ouchene chased her.

She was able to get to her third-floor apartment and thought she was safe, but a few minutes later she heard a knock at her door and opened it to Ouchene, who forced his way in, she told police.

Police said she managed to run out of her building, leaving Ouchene by her door. Police say they found him still sitting outside her door.

Anyone who sees him on school property is urged to call police at 412-397-2424.
