Boston (CNS) -- The identity of the Chinese victim, a female student at Boston University, killed in Monday's Boston Marathon bombings was made public by the university on Wednesday.

Lu Lingzi, the third person killed in the bombings, was a Chinese graduate student originally from the northeastern city of Shenyang.

Lu attended the Boston Marathon on Monday with two friends and was at the finish line when the bombs were detonated. One of her friends, Zhou Danling, was badly injured and temporarily in a coma.

Zhou, a female student who was wounded in the stomach by the blast, is being treated at Boston Medical Center and is said to be in stable condition.

Robert Hill, dean of Boston University's Marsh Chapel, who visited Zhou in the hospital, said the student had surgery on Monday and Tuesday.

She is doing well and now has friends around her, and she will soon have family around her, Hill said.

Zhou's parents got their US visas and will arrive in Boston in a few days, according to an official from the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in New York on Wednesday.

Thomas Robbins, chief of the Boston University Police Department, said on Wednesday that the campus remains a safe and secure place.

"We will have additional officers assigned across campus to provide visibility and protection to our community as this investigation proceeds." he added.
