| Description | The student accused of stabbing a college dean in the neck Tuesday in Kansas City actually wanted to stab Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, according to sources close to the investigation.
In fact, Casey Brezik thought he had stabbed Nixon — until police told him otherwise while interrogating him Tuesday night, the sources said.
The news that he had wounded a college official, and that the official had survived, disappointed Brezik, the sources said.
The 22-year-old Raytown resident hatched his plan after learning that Nixon was to speak at Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley at 10 a.m. Tuesday, the sources said. Brezik wore a bullet-resistant vest to class that morning. Nixon travels with Highway Patrol troopers.
Brezik did not have a particular beef with Nixon, the sources said, but wanted to harm him because he was a top government official. |
