Student fulfils childhood fantasy with stabbing spree

A community college student who said he had fantasised since childhood about stabbing people to death went on a slashing spree at his Houston, Texas campus.

The suspect, identified as Lone Star College student Dylan Quick, aged 20, wounded at least 14 people, two of them critically, before bystanders subdued him, police said.

He was charged with three counts of aggravated assault stemming from the rampage, carried out with a weapon described by the Harris County Sheriff’s Department as a “razor- type knife”.
