At least 8 taken to hospital with unknown injuries. According to witnesses, the suspect sped his car up onto a sidewalk and hit at least 3 students before hitting a brick wall. He then exited the car and brandished something, could have been a firearm, a knife or a cell phone (according to witnesses). Then witnesses report anywhere from 4-7 shots were heard.  There is also an unconfirmed report that a professor was attacked with a machete in a classroom.

Police have confirmed that one susepct is dead, but are still searching for others.

Update:

Before the car came around the corner, a fire alarm was pulled in the building and the students were exiting the building when hit.

Foxnews reports two suspects exited the car, one with a gun and one with a knife. And 10 people have been taken to hospital with unknown injuries, one of whom is in critical condition.

Some reports also indicate that the body bag seen was in fact a leaf bag.

Local Fox station says all victims were stabbed or hit by vehicle. It is unclear if the shots fired were police only at this time when they engaged one suspect.

Aloha snackbar?

Reddit thread said they were looking for a license plate or something for a Maliq Mohammad.  For what a Reddit thread is worth.


Columbus has the 2nd largest Somali population in the US.

My local AM radio station had an ABC affiliate on for an interview, and he said FBI was called in because of possible ISIS connections. Because he used a car first, like in Nice, and it's the anniversary of San Bernardino this week. Not sure if that's jumping the gun or not.

Columbus PD press conference confirms one suspect only that was wielding a butcher knife. The only shots fired came from an OSU police officer who killed the suspect within one minute. Says search warrants are being obtained but still nothing on the suspect other than male

A military aged Somali male.  Shocked!  Shocked, I tell you. 

Cry WOLF some more, Moms Demand GunSense.  Clamor for more gun control before you know a single detail.  Curse NRA members.  Blame Wayne LaPierre. Blame Trump.  Run to your safe spaces.  What a despicable bunch with their heads buried in the sand... or elsewhere.

#MomsDemand #GunSense and their ilk blaming NRA and calling for gun control. 



Was the cop that stopped the attack an NRA member or something?

Sounds like this is the official series of events:

9:45 or so this morning, a fire alarm was pulled in a watt hall lab for a possible chemical leak. Fire department had cleared the building for re-entrance when a car came speeding around the corner and went on to a sidewalk, hitting multiple people before hitting a brick planter. As people rushed to the car to see if the driver was okay, the suspect exited the vehicle with a butcher knife and began to stab people. At this point, police believe the timing with the fire alarm was a coincidence.

An OSU Police Officer was on site because of the chemical/gas leak and responded within 1 minute of the attack. The officer engaged the suspect and fired three shots. At that point, the active shooter alert went out to campus.

There were some conflicting witness statements about how many people had exited the car, but surveillance video was surrounding areas show that the suspect was alone in the car. Some witnesses said another potential suspect fled to a nearby parking garage. Since the alert told students to "Run, Hide, Fight", many other students decided to hide in the garage. This is why we have reports of anywhere of 2-3 people being seen handcuffed. Police were securing the garage.

After searching a few other buildings, the alert was lifted at around 11:30 AM, almost 90 minutes after the event was over. 11 people in total were injured, most were injured by the car and 2 were stabbed. One victim has a fractured skull.

FBI and BATFE are still on site and helping with the investigation. The suspect was a legal resident of the US from Somali. He was apparently a former student at OSU and some recent Facebook activity suggests that there may be terrorism ties.

At least two commentators on FoxNews. Not normal Fox staff, but the guests.
