After about ten minutes and without provocation, Sem stabbed another student, freshman Levi Butler, four times in the chest, killing him. Wysong followed Sem to the dining hall and watched while Sem interacted with other students, but did not take him back into custody. Left unattended, Sem took a paring knife from Wysong's kitchen and went to the university's dining hall. Sem didn't appear dangerous or agitated and was taken by Joel Wysong, the school's dean of men, to his on-campus apartment until he could take a flight home the next morning. University officials consulted a psychologist and decided that Sem would have to leave the university, but didn't report the incident to police. Told by university staff that he did not require medical attention, the injured student drove himself to the hospital where he received seven stitches.
