The statement of facts said Villalba-Aleman told police he had been planning an assault since April or May and initially tried to get a bow and arrow before realizing it would be too hard to operate and hide. The professor was stabbed in the nose and on the right bicep, causing injuries that required reconstructive surgery.
“The attack lasted approximately two minutes until the classroom was entirely vacant,” the court document said. “When the police arrived, they found a destroyed Pride flag on a desk in the classroom. Mr. Villalba-Aleman destroyed the flag. The origin and ownership of the flag is unknown.”
