(CBS) HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - The Lone Star College student who allegedly injured 14 people Tuesday in a stabbing spree on the school's CyFair campus in the Houston area has been identified as 20-year-old Dylan Quick, CBS affiliate KHOU reports.

Quick was reportedly tackled by students and taken into custody on the campus shortly after the incident took place. He has not officially been charged, according to the station.
