Knife-wielding student slashes 4 at University of Texas, kills 1

Another student, Ray Arredondo, said he was walking to his car when a mass of students near the gym started running.

AUSTIN — A student with a hunting knife slashed one person to death and injured three others Monday at the University of Texas, causing a brief stir of terror on campus before the man was tackled by police.

The suspect was identified by police as Kendrex J. White, 21. A motive for the attack is unknown.

Student Rachel Prichett said she was standing in line at a food truck outside a gym when she saw a man with a knife resembling a machete approach the person standing behind her.

“The guy was standing next to me,” Prichett said. “He grabbed him by the shoulder and shoved the knife in it. I just started running as fast as I could.”

Police said they believe the victims in the 1:46 p.m. attack are all around ages 20 or 21. There is no ongoing threat to the campus community, the university said.
