A man enrolled at the University of Texas went on a stabbing spree with a large hunting knife at the school’s Austin campus on Monday, killing one student and wounding three others also believed to be students, police said.
The suspect, identified as Kendrex White, was apprehended about two minutes after campus police received reports of the attack on the school’s main grounds. White was being questioned by police and formal charges related to the attack were likely to come later.
“I don’t know what his motivation is,” the University of Texas at Austin Police Chief David Carter told a news conference.
White has been booked by Austin police on a single charge that was not listed in online jail records.
