UPDATE: 1 Dead, Multiple Injured In University Of Texas Stabbing Rumored To Be Targeting Greeks
Update 9:09 AM CST
The victim that passed was Harrison Brown from Graham, TX, a freshman member of Phi Delta Theta.
Update 4:59 PM CST:
Junior biology major Kendrex Jermaine White was detained for stabbing four male students, one who has since died, with a large, Bowie-style hunting knife outside Gregory Gym on the University of Texas campus.
Kendrex retweeted these bible verses hours before the attack.
UT classes have been cancelled for the rest of the day and all reports of another attacker on West Campus do not appear to be credible.
Original story:
Police have detained a knife wielding suspect that stabbed multiple people outside Gregory Gym on the University of Texas campus leaving one dead and three others injured. The story is still developing and not much has been confirmed other than the one fatality, but this appears to be a photo of the alleged attacker (holster and all) being apprehended.
Coming off the vandalism of UT fraternity houses by an anonymous group looking to incite chaos, rumors are swirling around Austin that the assailant was targeting Greeks. Fuel was added to that fire as the “Vandals of UT Austin” posted this eerie message to noted revolutionary anarchist website, itsgoingdown.org.
Fraternity and sorority members are now being advised to turn their shirts inside out or not wear letters at all.
We’ll keep you updated as more information comes in..

9 years ago at 3:34 pmAt this point they are a full blown domestic terrorist organization. They arent much different from ISIS.
9 years ago at 4:23 pmMy thoughts were KKK — racial motivations, excessive pride in heritage, protests, etc. — but what’s the difference? Still terrorists.

9 years ago at 3:35 pmI’d like to see practical self defense classes come from this. Helps people learn some elements of military training without being in the service. Truly sad to hear this. RIP.
9 years ago at 4:10 pmYeah it’s called campus carry. UT is so liberal I bet no one does it. Woulda laid him down the second he pulled a knife.

9 years ago at 4:36 pmExcellent. I was hoping to hear that there were heroes today amongst this terrible event. (There haven’t been much in the way of details yet).
9 years ago at 4:59 pmOf course this is a top story on twitter and there’s not one mention that the victims were Greek life. Anything that will humanize people in fraternities is a no go in today’s world. RIP to the man that left this world too early.
9 years ago at 4:12 pmBeen following this on twitter. Absolutely horrible news and prayers to the victims families.
9 years ago at 4:24 pmIf anyone has some inside info, let us know if those injured are doing ok. This is fucked in the head.

9 years ago at 4:40 pmPhi Delt was killed, Marine Cadet was stabbed in the back, and a Lambda Chi was stabbed as well. Prayers to all of them.
