Texas stabbing: Student suspected as 14 wounded | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A student is in custody after a stabbing rampage that left 14 wounded at a college in Texas, police say. | |
Two of the injured at the Cypress campus of Lone Star College are in critical condition after the attack. | |
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said police first received an emergency call from the school shortly after 11:00 local time (16:00 GMT). | |
Based on video evidence, police said they were not looking for a second suspect. | |
The campus has been evacuated and will be closed for the rest of the day as police investigate. | |
'Building to building' | |
Earlier, a county spokesman said there had been a report that the suspect was wrestled to the ground by a student, then arrested by police. | |
The suspect is approximately 21 years old and a student at Lone Star, Sheriff Garcia said. | |
Harris County spokesman Thomas Gilliland said the suspect went from "building to building" during the attack. | |
Mr Gilliland said the attacker was believed to have been armed with a knife or a pencil. | |
One student told local broadcaster KHOU another student had been stabbed in a hallway in the school's health sciences building. | |
Of the 14 that were injured at the college, two refused medical attention and four were brought by helicopter to hospital. | |
