The part I bolded here seems to be a very odd thing for the cops to put in an alert....

Hope everyone recovers and there was only one crazy person.

I was hoping there was only one...

updated - looks like it was just 1, and it was a knife/car attack.

The gunshots people heard were cops

Quote(CNN)[Breaking news update at 12:35 p.m. ET]

Ten people were hospitalized after an attack Monday at Ohio State University, Columbus Fire spokeswoman Rebecca Diehm said. Nine are in stable condition, and one is in critical condition, she said.
The university released a statement after the attack.
"A suspect has been shot and reported deceased," the university said. "Victim injuries include stab wounds, injury by motor vehicle and other injuries that are being evaluated."
A knife-wielding man attacked several people at Ohio State University on Monday, sending eight people to hospitals and prompting a campus-wide lockdown, authorities said.
The suspect is dead, and authorities on the ground believe the threat is contained, said a law enforcement official briefed on the latest information.
The eight people hospitalized have non-life-threatening injuries, according to officials at three local hospitals.
OSU Emergency Management lifted a shelter-in-place order late Monday morning.

OSU Emergency Management lifted a shelter-in-place order late Monday morning.
"Scene is now secure," the department tweeted. But classes are canceled for the rest of the day.
As the chaos unfolded, university officials reported an active shooter incident at Watts Hall.
It's possible the gunshots heard were those of police trying to stop the attacker, a federal law enforcement official said.
Investigators believe the assailant also used a car at the beginning of the attack, and the entire attack happened outside.
OSU student Jacob Bower, 20, said he saw a man pull a knife outside between the Koffolt Laboratories and Watts Hall.
"He pulled a large knife and started chasing people around, trying to attack them," Bower told CNN. He said it appeared to be a large kitchen knife.
"Luckily there were so many people, he couldn't focus on one target. I didn't see anyone get stabbed, but I saw the police officer take down the stabber. He waited till everyone was clear, and the stabber clearly wasn't stopping. (It) took three shots to take him down. (The) stabber had a crazy look in his eyes."
When asked if the suspect yelled or said anything during the attack, Bower told CNN: "He was completely silent. Which was very creepy. Not even when he was shot (by police)."
"The cop that subdued the guy with the knife saved so many lives today."
The motive for the attack was not immediately known.

'Run Hide Fight,' university says
Earlier, campus officials urged people to shelter in place.
"Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College," OSU Emergency Management tweeted Monday morning.
Watts Hall is the university's materials science and engineering building.
OSU senior Anthony Falzarano, 22, said he was in class at the time.
"We heard a lot of sirens. I was in class and everyone got a text message at the same time for the emergency alert," he told CNN during the lockdown. "Someone said they heard popping right before we got the alert, but I didn't hear it. We are in a shelter-in-place right now in the building next door. "

"The officers are putting on Kevlar vests and have big weapons," he said. "I can't see anyone going inside the building -- there's just so many cops here."
Some students piled chairs against a door to barricade themselves.

Ohio State University's main campus in Columbus is one of the largest in the United States. The university has more than 65,000 students enrolled across the state.
Students had just returned to class Monday after the Thanksgiving break -- and after the OSU football team's big win Saturday over the school's biggest rival, University of Michigan.
Michigan's athletic department tweeted its support for OSU, saying "Stay safe, Buckeyes."

Students are getting ready for final exams, which begin on December 9.
The incident also comes during the first month of the OSU public safety director's job. Monica Moll came to the helm on October 31.

In the past, it was taught to simple try to hide and barricade yourself and wait for help.  Today, it's taught to get away if you can and if you cannot, then to hide, but not to just wait for law enforcement, but to be ready to fight back.  Use anything you can as a weapon, books, chairs, etc.  This is being taught in all levels of school.

...hopefully he will be the only fatality.

one of the advantages (if you will) of something happening on the Ohio St campus is that the hospital is, literally, seconds away, b/c OSU Medical School runs a giant-ass monster hospital right on campus that dominates the south side of the school, right next to the stadium.

He looks like he's not old enough to drink.  Not that that matters.

Well done!   :bd:

here's the attacker, profiled months ago in the campus newspaper

http://thelantern.com/2016/11/from-the-archives-ohio-state-attacker-featured-in-humans-of-ohio-state/

From his interview with the school paper back on August 25th.

Quote"I wanted to pray in the open, but I was scared with everything going on in the media. I'm a Muslim, it's not what the media portrays me to be. If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen. But, I don't blame them. It's the media that put that picture in their heads so they're just going to have it and it, it's going to make them feel uncomfortable. I was kind of scared right now. But I just did it. I relied on God. I went over to the corner and just prayed."

Three months later, he's knifing people and trying to run them over. Obviously, this should be blamed on the media: they didn't portray him the right way.  ::)

And the SJW heroes are implying it was racist for the cop to shoot this scum because, you know, black guy, white cop, and Fergusson was a good time or something.

yes, the are some people saying that - "why didn't they tase him?"

Yep, some racial hate monger tweeted something about calling the cop a hero for shooting a black man. This is the kind of insanity that I hope has peaked in popularity.

By the way, they are still trying to figure out the motive of the crime. This has nothing to do with Islam, so stop thinking it you racist retards.

Dammit! There goes my theory.  :peace:

Mine too, and to think I could have sworn his rantings on The Facebook kind of made it cut and dry. I am so silly.
