Developing story.

RUN. HIDE. FIGHT


http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/11/28/active-shooter-reported-at-ohio-state-university/

COLUMBUS, Ohio (KDKA/AP) — Ohio State University is telling students there’s an active shooter on campus and they should “Run Hide Fight.”

Ohio State’s official Twitter page retweeted a post from OSU Emergency Management saying there is an active shooter on campus in Columbus on Monday morning.


The tweet says: “Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College.” Watts Hall is a materials science and engineering building.

“Run, hide, fight” is standard protocol for active shooter situations. It means: Run, evacuate if possible; Hide, get silently out of view; or Fight, as a last resort, take action to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter if your life is in imminent danger.

A Columbus police dispatcher declined to comment on the reports, but police vehicles were seen at the scene.

The schools Twitter account told students to continue sheltering in place north of the campus.

How can they fight? Isn't that campus a gun free zone for legal carry, which would make all law abiding citizens disarmed?

One would presume that if face to face you have two choices, die on your knees or use your wits and devise any sort of improvised offense you can muster.

Armed attacker shot dead by cops after mowing down students with a car and stabbing them with a knife at Ohio State University leaving nine people injured

  • [*]An assailant was reported at OSU's Columbus campus Monday morning
    [*]Federal official told CNN that knife-wielding attacker went on a stabbing rampage at Watts Hall around 10am
    [*]Law enforcement sources who spoke with Columbus Post-Dispatch said there were two attackers - one with a gun and one with a knife
    [*]Witnesses said someone pulled the fire alarm at the building and that man mowed them down with his car as they were evacuating
    [*]The man got out of his car and started stabbing students when a responding officer shot him dead
    [*]Around 11am, SWAT teams stormed a nearby parking garage and led two men from the building in handcuffs
    [*]At least nine people have been injured - including one in critical condition
    [*]The shelter in place was lifted just after 11:30am

A suspect is dead and at least nine injured after a rampage at Ohio State University.

A federal law enforcement official told CNN that there was one attacker, who mainly used a knife and a car in the attack - countering earlier reports that there was an active shooter.

But exactly what happened at the campus remains unclear since the Columbus Post-Dispatch is reporting that there were two attackers - one armed with a gun, and the other with a knife.

The chaos started around 10am, when a fire alarm was pulled at Watts Hall, home to the Materials Science and Engineering program.

Witnesses say that as they were evacuating the building when a man driving a car mowed down the crowds of innocent bystanders.

The attacker then reportedly got out of the car and started stabbing and slashing victims. The witness said that the knifeman didn't say anything throughout the attack but had a 'crazed' look on his face. A responding officer shot the suspect dead.

After the incident at Watts Hall, the law enforcement focus shifted to a nearby parking garage.

SWAT teams stormed the building just before 11am and minutes later two men, one black and one white, were led out in handcuffs.

Re: Active Shooter: OHIO STATE Campus

Most injuries were by KNIFE and CAR according to this report...

http://nbc4i.com/2016/11/28/active-shooter-reported-at-osu-campus/
COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Police confirm the suspect involved in an active shooter situation on the campus of The Ohio State University is now dead.

Columbus fire officials tell NBC4 eight people were transported to local hospitals. A ninth victim is being treated on scene and may or may not be transported to the hospital.

Hospital officials told the Associated Press eight patients they received from the scene have non-life-threatening injuries. The eight patients were split among OSU Wexner Medical Center, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center and OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.

The injuries include stab wounds, injury by motor vehicle and other injuries that are being evaluated.

Re: UPDATE: CAR/KNIFE ATTACK ... Active Shooter: OHIO STATE Campus

Go to the link for the full story, which still contains information about a possible gunman. Obviously plenty of confusion. I would not rule out a gun as being another weapon involved, but the preponderance of evidence seems to suggest its a car & knife that did most (if not all) of the carnage.

Jerry Kovacich, a third-year in welding engineering, told the school's newspaper, The Lantern, that he witnessed a man in a car try to drive into a crowd of people after a fire alarm went off. After the car crashed, Kovacich told the newspaper he witnessed the man then attack bystanders with a knife.

I didn’t see anything with the shooter, what happened was it was outside of MacQuigg Lab,” Kovacich told The Lantern. “The guy ended up just coming and hopping the curb with his car and trying to mow down a couple people. He lost control, and I think he ended up hitting three people, and then people were around the car. Somebody asked him if he was OK and the guy just hopped out of the car with a butcher knife and starting chasing people around.”


LINK TO FULL STORY, which is still developing >>> http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/11/28/developing-active-shooter-alert-at-ohio-state.html

Other reports indicate there were 2 people in the car, one with a knife and another with a gun.

I'm guessing we will know the totality of the story later today.

Radio chatter is that ISIS is telling lone wolf attackers to use ordinary items for attacks and suggest cars/knives would be hard to detect in advance, where bombs require material acquisitions, planning, etc.

Unclear of current motive, unclear if this is a terror related anything, don't want to jump to conclusions ... but if it walks like a duck.

Last I've heard is the gunshots students heard may have been from the OSU police officer that killed the attacker.

11 confirmed injured now. 2 individuals that were hit by the car had left and walked into the hospital later in the day.
Police and a bomb squad are in the process of waiting on a search warrant to search a home where the car was registered.
