As many as 14 injured in stabbing in Lone Star College Cy-Fair stabbing

HOUSTON — Emergency crews are tending to multiple victims of a stabbing attack on the Lone Star College Cy-Fair campus in Texas.

The violence broke out at about 11:30am on the Cy-Fair campus on Barker Cypress Road. According to the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department, there are multiple victims, possibly as many as 14. At least one person is said to be critically injured. Life Flight was called to the scene, as were a number of ambulances.

Cy-Fair VFD says four patients have been taken by Life Flight to Hermann Texas Medical Center. Two more patients were taken by ground ambulance to Hermann Hospital. The remainder were taken to North Cypress Hospital, and two people refused treatment at the scene.

James, a student at the school, told Eyewitness News’s sister station KTRK, he helped police take one person into custody. He says the suspect, who appeared to be a student, may be hearing impaired, and was armed with a knife similar to an exacto knife, that may be used in animal dissections.

James says he saw the suspect, dressed in black, emerge from the building at a run, and he gave chase. When tackled, the suspect reportedly said, ‘I give up, I give up.’ James adds that he saw several people bleeding, including some victims with neck wounds. They were tended to by medical crews.
