At least eight people hurt in attack at the Ohio State University

bloody_knifeCOLUMBUS, OHIO – An active shooter was reported on the Ohio State University campus Monday morning, and at least 8 people were hurt in an attack that may have involved a knife rather than a gun.

Students were advised to “Run Hide Fight” as the announcement was made, and to avoid certain areas of campus.

By 11:14 AM, the shelter in place had been lifted and the scene was secure. The attacker was killed, reportedly with gunfire.

A student told CNN that the attacker “pulled a large knife and started chasing people around, trying to attack them.”

Law enforcement will reportedly continue to have a visible presence on the campus today. All academic classes on the Columbus campus were cancelled for the remainder of Monday.

Police continue to process the crime scene, and people were advised to continue to keep away from the area.

President-elect Donald J. Trump said in a statement that he was “watching the news unfold at Ohio State University. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the students and administration.”
