Amy in TX Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 My daughter's a dual credit student at a different LoneStar campus, so I heard that there was a stabbing at another campus but didn't pay much attention. But fourteen people? Dear Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thank God, she is fine. The stabbings happened at the Cypress-Fairbanks campus, and she's at another campus. Thanks for asking! I was wondering how one person with a knife could get that many people without being stopped, but now apparently they're saying there were two? It gets weirder and weirder. Prayers for all the victims. I haven't heard that there were any deaths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanking God once again that my S-I-L teaches at a different campus within that system. Parents used to think that their children would be safe attending college "at home" by going to one of the CCs. That now is a myth. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it says one perp who ran from building to building and was tackled by a student. God bless the tackler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 "Sheriff Garcia said two victims are in critical condition and four are in fair condition" It says one suspect is caught but the police is not sure if there are more than one. http://www.nydailyne...9#ixzz2PztYX2hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amy g. Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My kids go to a different campus as well. Right after it happened, I read on Facebook that the asailant was deaf. Yesterday, I read that he had already been moved to a mental hospital. That article said he was a long time student, and worked in the library, and had never had any issues at all. My understanding is that he was using a scalpel blade, maybe in an x-acto handle. Is it true that students and faculty subdued and disarmed him before the police arrived?

delaney Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Strange to think to myself, "Oh good, at least it was just a knife." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 It was surreal on campus yesterday. It happened in the building where I teach. Since the campus had been locked down and then evacuated, no one had been on site. We had steam cleaners (blood stains), and a dozen Dean level officials. I teach at 7:00 am; there aren't usually Deans. We had 3 people stop in, including the President, yesterday. The student who was the attacker had been a homeschooler.

Spryte Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Joanne, it must have been a strange morning. :( I read that he'd been a homeschooler. Sorry to hear it confirmed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
