HeadlineApr 10, 2013

A suspect is in custody for a stabbing rampage on the campus of Lone Star College near Houston. At least 14 people were wounded, two of them critically. The suspect is a student at the school. Harris County officers said the victims were targeted at random.

Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia: “Some of the details in the call slip did indicate that students or faculty were actively responding to work to subdue this individual. So we’re proud of those folks, but we’re glad no one else is injured any more severely than they are.”

Harris County Deputy Thomas Gilliland: “No motive as of right now. Student were leaving from class and going to class, and it was — attack was at random, and as we follow right now, it went from building to building.”
