A Deaf student suspect in Texas college stabbings had dreams of success, bloodshed, some say.
Abcnews.go.com: A
Deaf college student accused of going on a
stabbing spree at a Texas campus attacked his victims with such force that "pieces of blade" were found in at least one of his 14 alleged victims, according to police.
Dylan Andrew Quick, 20, allegedly used a razor utility knife to stab and cut fellow students at
Lone Star College Tuesday, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
"There were pieces of blade in at least one victim, broken blade pieces in the area where the cutting occurred, and the handle to a razor-type knife (
X-Acto-style) was found in a backpack that Quick was carrying when he was arrested," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Quick told police he has "had fantasies of stabbing people to death" since he was 8 years old. He also indicated he had been planning the attack for "some time."
Quick has been "matter-of-fact" with investigators, Sheriff Adrian Garcia said at a news conference today. ...READ MORE:

Dylan Andrew Quick overcame a childhood disability and had big plans for the future. But on Tuesday, the 20-year-old student went on a stabbing spree on his Texas college campus, authorities said.
By the time campus police took him into custody, 14 people had been injured at
Lone Star College. It's unclear how many of the injured were stabbed and how many suffered other injuries. The campus shut down Tuesday, but will reopen Wednesday.
Quick landed in jail. For now, his plans for the future may be in jeopardy.
Overcoming obstacles: Quick was born
Deaf and received a
cochlear implant at age 7,
CNN affiliate KPRC reported. An article on how he overcame challenges early in life appeared on a Lone Star student blog the first week of April. The implant gave him the ability to hear, but he had to play catch-up to learn how to speak English. His mother homeschooled him and got him involved in Lone Star's library programs, when he was a teen, according to KPRC.
Quick became a voracious reader and developed a close connection with the school northwest of
Houston, where he later became a student, the affiliate said. He was planning to finish his associate's degree there and transfer to the
University of Houston to study accounting. The young man dreamed of starting a book club. But Quick had also been harboring a darker dream, police said. ...READ MORE:
