Dylan Quick is the 20-year-old Lone Star College student who is allegedly responsible for randomly stabbing 14 other students on campus, critically injuring two. As the story develops, investigators are unearthing disturbing details behind the attack, including a confession by the suspect that he had thoughts of killing people since he was in elementary school and that he fantasized about cutting people's faces off and wearing them as masks.
The violent attack started in a lab in the Health Sciences Building of the Cy-Fair Campus and spread to the outside of the building. Lone Star student Margo Shimfarr-Evans said she just left the building when she found out that a classmate had been stabbed.
"It happened in the hallway, we have a lab and lecture, and down the hallway it’s all lab classes and a classmate in the lab class got stabbed," she said.
Police said that it was a random "building-to-building" attack, but it is unclear how many buildings or classrooms were involved.
Two students were left in critical condition after the attack, while four were reported to be in fair condition, reports the New York Daily News. Four were flown to outside hospitals by helicopter and others were treated at the scene.
I homeschool my kids here because of all of the recourses they are connected to. I thank God that he intervened to where we could not make it to school that morning. Our youth are so troubled and can only pray for the strength of his parents.
We all do what is right as parents to raise our kids accordingly but we need to continue praying through out these years. Somewhere between adolescent and young adult hood; we are losing them.
Quick has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault. If he is convicted of a first-degree felony, he faces life in prison, but his defending attorney, Jules Laird, wants the suspect to be examined by mental health professionals before moving forward. Currently Quick is being held without bail.
