Lone Star College, 14 Stabbed In Planned Attack By 20-Year-Old Student, Two Victims In Critical Condition

Texas’ Lone Star College’s 14 stabbed students, victims of a stabbing spree by a 20-year-old student who planned the attack, have been identified, with most undergoing treatment. Twelve have been taken to the hospital while two refused treatment. Of the dozen students in the hospital, two are in critical condition while four are in fair condition, according to Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia.

A 20-year-old college student who is accused of going on a stabbing spree at a Texas campus that left 14 people injured, allegedly told police that he had “fantasies of stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school.”

Dylan Andrew Quick, 20, faces three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was ordered held on $100,000 bond on each charge for his actions.

The Harris County Sherriff’s office said, “"According to the statement the suspect voluntarily gave investigators, he has had fantasies of stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school. He also indicated that he has been planning this incident for some time."

The stabbing incident occurred at Lone Star Community College System’s Fairwide campus in Cypress, Texas, a premise about 30 miles northwest of Houston.

Garcia said, about the incident, “This is a current and ongoing investigation. Buildings are still being searched to confirm the details of what we have.”

A representative from the Memorial Hermann Texas Trauma Institute, where six victims have been taken, told ABCNews.com that four were brought in the facility by air ambulance and two were brought in by ground transportation. Two victims at the hospital remain in critical condition and three were upgraded to good condition. One of the victims have been discharged early Tuesday evening.

"Two armed suspects at LSC-CyFair. One suspect is at large. Stay away from the area. Seek shelter in a secure location until the incident is resolved. Be aware of your surroundings," was the initial alarm put out by the college to the public.

The video evidence available, which was reviewed because of the incident, showed that there is only one suspect in the case, the sheriff said.

Garcia noted that he could not provide any information on the type of weapon the suspect have used or whether he slashed or stabbed the victims.

A witness has told ABC News affiliate KTRK-TV that several students were stabbed in the neck and others helped tackle the suspect.

The suspect, according to the witness, appeared to be a student who was wearing all black, including a cap and appeared to have hearing aids. The witness also said that the suspect used what appeared to be an Exacto-knife to stab people.
