Active Shooter at OSU


Recommended Posts

Well, because it's my home state we have an Active Shooter on The Ohio State University Campus, 2 Suspects, 1 is rumored to be down, 7 Students have been transported 1 in custody.  Columbus SWAT is setting up Snipers currently on the hotel as SWAT Clears "Watts Hall" where the apparent shots were heard.  Suspect is a male black, short hair is the only description so far. CPD just advised a Search Warrant on a nearby house......

 

UPDATE 10:53AM

 

Car was rammed into the Chemical Engineering Building before shots were heard.  1 Suspect has been killed.

 

11:00am

SWAT just cleared Watts Hall, currently moving to the next connected building for victims and clearing it.

 

11:41am

OSU issued a Shelter Alert to be lifted as SWAT clears the parking garage. CPD is advising to not overturn it as hundreds of students leave, but CPD sets up crowd control as SWAT finishes clearing the area.

 

 

Suspect has been identified as an 18 year old male born in Somalia, was a student at OSU.  Reports said he hit multiple people in a family owned vehicle and then got out after crashing and starting to slash people. A nearby OSU Campus Officer fired shots at the suspect killing him and saving other lives.  Officer was nearby investigating a possible gas leak.

Oh god, that's terrible! I hope for the police, and the people of Columbus, that the 2nd suspect gets caught by the police soon.

I also hope that the victims will recover.

It's a shame things like this happen that frequently. So I'm glad to not experience such terrible events. I'm happy such things don't occur where I live at. :mellow:

Your initial post before updates show how quickly unreliable false information gets out. If we're going to Monday morning quarterback this whole situation my gripe is that people need to be more understanding of the information they give when they call 911. We had a SWAT team in an area where there in all reality was no active shooter. Like it was stated above the only person who fired any shots was the police officer that was involved in the OIS. So if I put in my two cents, people need to be more specific about what is being said to dispatch because at the end of the day the call I am responding to, the only information I have is what dispatch is telling me and that is what they are being told by other people.
