I thought the same thing - a "DUH" moment - but further details revealed that since he knew he had lost his student visa because of his failing grade, he took his despair out on the professor who failed him.  Well, he will certainly not be returning to India now, and will be staying in Massachusetts for a long, long time, though not as a student.

Here's an update on the stabbing of Mary Elizabeth Hooker, a professor at UMass Lowell:
 
Which begins:
"A 22-year-old student from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell accused of attacking a ''favorite" teacher with a kitchen knife last week in a dispute over a failing grade might have been concerned about being deported to his native India, officials said."

And he thought that attempting to KILL his teacher would make that LESS likely?
Sounds like a good "critical thinking skills" course is in order (to start with).
