TEXAS — (AP) The University of Texas president says two of the students wounded in a stabbing attack on campus have been treated and released from hospitals while a third remains hospitalized.
University President Greg Fenves says the student who was fatally stabbed was a freshman named Harrison Brown. He says Brown was a talented musician who had not yet decided on a major.
The 21-year-old suspect, Kendrex J. White, was armed with a large hunting knife.
University Police Chief David Carter says White was recently involuntarily committed in another city.
Carter says the suspect was “obviously” suffering from some kind of mental difficulties. He did not elaborate.
The attack happened Monday in the middle of campus.
Witnesses described a sudden and seemingly random assault on strangers in the middle of the campus of one of the nation’s largest universities.
