A deaf student, who admitted slashing 14 of his classmates in a stabbing spree across his Texas college campus on Tuesday, has told police he has had fantasies of stabbing people to death since the age of 8.



Dylan Andrew Quick, 20, an accountancy student, of Cypress, Texas, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after the random stabbing attacks which took place across Lone Star College's campus buildings from 11am.



He allegedly slashed at students, many of whom were female, in a random rampage across the campus cutting them in the face or neck.



Police on Wednesday said they were investigating reports that he had forewarned of the attacks on an internet chatroom.



Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia said they had received 'an email from a concerned member of the public' who said that details of a similar attack had been posted on an internet chatroom.



He said they were investigating.



At an arraignment hearing on Wednesday, Caroline Dozier reiterated police claims that Quick had told them about his long-held fantasies to kill .



'In a videotaped confession, he admitted he stabbed the complainants with an X-Acto knife and a scalpel because of his fantasy to kill people,' Dozier told the judge, the Houston Chronicle reported.



The police also revealed Quick had been using two knives in the attack. It came after reports that he told a fellow student that he intended to kill but his knife broke.



He is currently undergoing a psychological evaluation and has been placed on suicide watch.



He was visited by his parents Tiffany and Tim in jail last night, KHOU.com reported.



The broadcaster also reported that the student had had previous mental health problems.



He reportedly went missing from his Cypress home at the age of 18. His frantic parents told Texas EquuSearch they were concerned he had suicidal thoughts.



Violent fantasies: Police reported that Dylan Quick had admitted his role in the Lone Star College stabbings and had fantasized about knifing people to death since elementary school

Concerns: Tiffany Quick, pictured with her son, sent him as a teenager to library classes at the college because she was fearful he wasn't socializing enough. He was home-schooled as a child after being born deaf

However, the teen was found the next day - on the same campus where he is alleged to have carried out the attacks on Tuesday morning.



Donna Hawkins, an official with the Harris County Prosecutor's Office announced the charges on Tuesday night.



'A ccording to the statement the suspect voluntarily gave investigators, he has had fantasies of stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school,' she said.



'He also indicated that he has been planning this incident for some time.'



The Houston Chronicle reported fellow student Desmond Lago, who had been arrested by campus police on a trespassing offense, claim he had spoken to Quick, who told him of his thwarted intention to kill his victims.

'We were sitting on the floor while a cop sat in a chair,' Lago told the newspaper 'I asked him, did you do it? And he said yes. Then the cop told us to stop talking to each other.'

When the officer looked away, Lago said, he asked Quick, 'What were you trying to do? He said he was trying to go on a killing spree but the (expletive) blade broke.'

The Sheriff's Office confirmed that Quick's weapons broke during the attack.



'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 was found in a backpack that Quick was carrying when he was arrested,' Hawkins added.

Quick was profiled on a university website just nine days ago and presented as a success story for the school's outreach work within the local community.

Hero: Steven Maida wrestled with the Dylan Quick who attacked a Houston community college on Tuesday afternoon - taking him down to the ground and subduing him The 12-year-old home-schooled boy visited an on-campus branch of Harrison County Public Library to learn and indulge in his love of books.

The website spoke about how his mother, Tiffany Quick, was fearful he was not socializing fully because of his disability. The post on April 1 reads: 'Dylan first started coming to campus at the age of 12 when his mother Tiffany involved him in the library’s teen activities.

'Initially reluctant to participate, Dylan was home-schooled and very shy, and Tiffany wanted him to be in a setting to socialize with other teens and also to be intellectually stimulated.' 'Tiffany had removed Dylan from the public school system when the school placed him in a classroom for students with special needs. There, Dylan stagnated.' 'During the first two years of Dylan’s participation in the library’s teen activities, he rarely spoke. But after those two years it was if a floodgate had opened up and Dylan became loquacious, sharing his analyses of literature and socializing with his book club comrades.'

Quick was born deaf and received a cochlear implant at the age of seven, which improved his hearing.

The blog said: 'In addition to a love a math, he still has a passion for reading, cultivated and nurtured in the library book clubs. His room at home, he explains, barely contains his 1,000+ collection of books. In the future he plans to build and host an online international book club to connect people of all ages from around the world.'

He was planning to transfer to the University of Houston after earning his associate degree.



He wrote for a library blog under the name Rock Star as a teen and presented his life as a normal, happy child.

He listed his favorite book as The Phantom of the Opera and talked about his love of bands such as Green Day and U2.

He spoke about happy family getaways with his parents and his concerns for the environment and the homeless.



Neighbors confirmed that Dylan was a quiet but kind boy and spoke of their shock at the incident.



Michael Lindon told the Houston Chronicle he was a 'nice kid' who is 'real quiet and keeps to himself'.

'He doesn't have any friends. Nobody comes over there,' Lincoln added.

He also told of how the student recently helped him when his car was struck by a branch.

'I can't imagine what would have happened to that young man to make him do something like this. He is very normal,' Magdalena Lopez, 48, told the Chronicle.

'I can't believe he would do it,' she added.



Officers attended the family home on Tuesday night where they were speaking to Dylan's parents Tiffany and Tim.

He is believed to be an only child.

Steven Maida, Erik Bertrand, Ryan Ballard and another student named James managed to wrestle Quick to the floor and waited for police to arrive following the stabbings.

In a very modern take on heroism, Maida posted a picture of the suspect onto his Instagram account, explaining how he ran to intercept him as the stabbings began and then an hour later posted a congratulatory self-portrait of himself inside a police car after his bold act.

Confirming through Twitter that he and two other men wrestled the suspect to the floor, Maida, was inundated with messages of support on social media and appeared on CNN and Fox News via a telephone interview.

'I was walking back from the cafe and bookstore and I see people running different ways and I thought it was a tour,' explained Maida to Fox News.



'Then I hear someone say my friend has been stabbed and then this girl walks out with a hole in her cheek.



'I said where's he at? Where's he at?'



'So I go inside, upstairs and as I do, another girl has a hole in her throat and I looked up at the staircase and there is blood on the staircase.
