Dylan Quick, suspect in a community college campus stabbing spree, Tuesday

CYPRESS, Texas – A 20-year-old student went on a building-to-building stabbing attack at a Texas community college Tuesday, wounding at least 14 people – many in the face and neck – before being subdued and arrested, authorities said Tuesday.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that Dylan Quick had been planning the attack at the Lone Star College System’s campus in Cypress for some time and had fantasies of stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school. More.
