Nine hurt, suspect killed in 'terrifying' Ohio State attack

[Leroy N. Soetoro]

A man crashed his vehicle into pedestrians on the Ohio State campus in
Columbus on Monday, then slashed students with a butcher knife before
being fatally shot by a university police officer, authorities said.

Nine people were rushed to hospitals and one was in critical condition,
according to university Police Chief Craig Stone.

The drama began shortly before 10 a.m. ET, when the suspect, whose name
was not immediately released, deliberately drove up over the curb and
began his attack, Stone said. He said the officer arrived about a minute
later and engaged the suspect.

"We are very fortunate that an OSUPD officer was there and took quick
action," Stone said.

"Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th
and College" the university's emergency management agency tweeted. "Run
hide fight" is emergency protocol used to warn people to flee if possible,
hide from the shooter and, if all else fails, fight for your life.

Stone said it did not immediately appear that the attacker used a gun. The
alert, however, apparently was sent after the suspect was fatally shot.

A short time later, the agency tweeted a warning to "Continue to shelter
in place in north campus area. Follow directions of Police on scene."

A SWAT team, K9 and bomb squad units and scores of law enforcement
officials descended on the sprawling campus. Less than two hours after the
first alert, university police said the shelter-in-place order was lifted
and the "scene was secure." Classes were canceled for the rest of the day.

"We prepare for situations like this but we hope we never have one,"
school President Michael Drake said.

Columbus Police Chief Chief Kim Jacobs, whose officers also responded to
the attack, said it could have been an act of terror. "That's why our
federal partners are here and helping," she said.

Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco briefed President Obama on the
incident, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. He said FBI
agents in Columbus were assisting with the investigation.

Freshman Meredith Johnson, 19, was in a psychology class when the
university alert popped up on her teacher's power point screen. The
teacher and students thought it might have been a scam, she said.

"Three or four minutes later we got the text," Johnson said. "Stay
indoors. Active shooter. That's when I started freaking out."

Peterson Pierre, a junior biochemistry major, said he woke up to the
campus alert. He and his roommate decided to go outside and see what was
happening.

"We saw a body covered with a white sheet," Pierre said.

Other students hunkered down in their apartments, waiting for the threat
to pass.

"It's honestly kind of terrifying because I was at home and away from my
phone at the time,” said Jenny Chen, who stayed in her apartment about two
blocks from Watts Hall, listed on the school's website as a Materials
Science and Engineering building.

“I got flooded with messages ... asking me if I was safe and I didn't even
realize this was happening,” said Chen, a senior. “Now I'm just scrambling
to make sure that people I know are safe as well.”

Victoria Morishita, a senior studying logistics management student, said
she was off campus, but her phone quickly loaded with texts from people
near the scene.

"I was scared because it happened near our CBEC and business building and
a lot of my friends were there," she said.

Facebook activated its safety check, entitled “The Violent Incident in
Columbus, Ohio,” allows those in the area to mark themselves “safe,”
“unsafe” or “outside the affected area” with the click of a button. Users
can also invite friends to mark their safety status.

Twitter filled with well-wishes from federal, state and local officials.

"***@TeamTrump watching coverage of what has transpired @ Ohio State -
Thoughts & prayers are with the students & administration at this time,"
tweeted Dan Scavino, social media director for President-elect Donald
Trump.

"Ohio's thoughts and prayers go out to the Ohio State community," Gov.
John Kasich tweeted. "Be safe, listen to first responders."

Tweeted Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio: "Everyone stay safe — Monitoring this
situation closely. Thoughts and prayers with everyone on campus."

"We are all Buckeyes. Our thoughts are with all of @OhioState and Columbus
today," tweeted the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.

Ohio State’s 1,764-acre campus is located about 2.5 miles north of
Columbus. The school, founded in 1870, is the third-largest campus in the
U.S. with about 45,000 undergraduates and 13,000 post-graduates.

Donald J. Trump, 306 electoral votes to 232, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton and put an end to Barack Obama on November
8, 2016. The clown car parade of the democrat party ran out of gas.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

His Omnipotence Barack Hussein Obama, declared himself "Pooptator" of all
mentally ill homosexuals and crossdressers, while declaring where they
will defecate.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $19 trillion in the seven
years he has been in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Loretta Fuddy, killed after she "verified" Obama's phony birth
certificate.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

That is extremely sad, and I feel for the families of the victims.

Meanwhile, some colleges are giving students coloring books and bubbles
to "cope" with Trump's win. Honestly now, that's just asinine. The
only people that could use any kind of therapy would be students
directly related to an attack like this, but I'm sure it would be more
readily available from liberals if you said it was to cope with
Hillary's loss instead.
