I hope the victims recover, but there's little else to say at this time.

The fog of war applies here, but there are reports out that this was an inside job by students. They're saying it was a coordinated and carefully planned attack that may have been a vendetta against a specific target.

I forgot you go there; thank God you're alright! CNN is saying the suspect was a black male using a car and a machete. Apparently an eyewitness claimed it took multiple shots to take him down.

All the shots fired were by police I think.

     There was an active shooter warning issued, so I can understand the confusion over the nature of an incident.

CNN is already floating the idea that the big bad Muslims are to blame. I guess terrorism is a better way to get viewers.

I read it was a black man, but yes, Muslims are hater's favorite nowadays versus the black man.

They have to get back on Trump's good side after the election, lest they want their credentials revoked.

Could there have been an accomplice(s) who pulled the fire alarm that sent everyone outside?

A student at OSU posted this on Reddit. The entire thread is full of pertinent information from students and other folks in the area.

"Ohio State University attack suspect is an 18-year-old of Somali descent, federal law enforcement official says"
@CNN

"Sources to Fox: Ohio State University suspect came into U.S. as a Somali refugee."

Apparently not a US citizen.

So was it a shooting, or was the guy attacking with a machete?

Tim Kaine was spreading fake news all over the place.

Beautiful tweet by @JaredWyand:
You insisted Ohio take in Somali Muslims @JohnKasich knowing the inevitable terrorism they'd bring

Ohio State University is on you

"Suspect's name confirmed: OSU student Abdul Razak Artan. No motive released yet."
@TheLantern (Ohio State student newspaper)
https://twitter.com/TheLantern/status/803344926692020225

Here is a pretty recent profile that same student paper wrote on this guy: https://twitter.com/CitizenAnalyst/status/803338952459612161

Ironically, he was complaining about the media portraying Muslims in a bad light...

With a name like "Abdul Razak Artan" there is no need to release a motive. People will have already assigned a motive of "radical islamic terrorism," regardless of what any official says.

If you were a betting man, what motive would you assign for this guy?
