Apr 2013

A man who has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault after a mass stabbing at Lone Star College's Cy-Fair campus has a long history at the school.

Dylan Quick, 21, was featured in the college's student spotlight on April 1. The profile had been posted on a blog site, but was removed Tuesday evening.

According to the story, Quick was born completely deaf and received a cochlear implant when he was 7 years old.

"The first few years after receiving the implant, Dylan says he was busy learning English, just as if he were an ESOL student," the article read.

Quick was homeschooled and his mother involved him in the college's library teen activities when he was 12 years old, according to the story. The program helped him increase his hearing and communication skills.
