   A man crashed his vehicle into pedestrians on the Ohio State campus in   
   Columbus on Monday, then slashed students with a butcher knife before   
   being fatally shot by a university police officer, authorities said.   
      
   Nine people were rushed to hospitals and one was in critical condition,   
   according to university Police Chief Craig Stone.   
      
   The drama began shortly before 10 a.m. ET, when the suspect, whose name   
   was not immediately released, deliberately drove up over the curb and   
   began his attack, Stone said. He said the officer arrived about a minute   
   later and engaged the suspect.   
      
   "We are very fortunate that an OSUPD officer was there and took quick   
   action," Stone said.   
      
   "Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th   
   and College" the university's emergency management agency tweeted. "Run   
   hide fight" is emergency protocol used to warn people to flee if possible,   
   hide from the shooter and, if all else fails, fight for your life.   
      
   Stone said it did not immediately appear that the attacker used a gun. The   
   alert, however, apparently was sent after the suspect was fatally shot.   
      
   A short time later, the agency tweeted a warning to "Continue to shelter   
   in place in north campus area. Follow directions of Police on scene."   
      
   A SWAT team, K9 and bomb squad units and scores of law enforcement   
   officials descended on the sprawling campus. Less than two hours after the   
   first alert, university police said the shelter-in-place order was lifted   
   and the "scene was secure." Classes were canceled for the rest of the day.   
      
   "We prepare for situations like this but we hope we never have one,"   
   school President Michael Drake said.   
      
   Columbus Police Chief Chief Kim Jacobs, whose officers also responded to   
   the attack, said it could have been an act of terror. "That's why our   
   federal partners are here and helping," she said.   
      
   Homeland Security Adviser Lisa Monaco briefed President Obama on the   
   incident, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. He said FBI   
   agents in Columbus were assisting with the investigation.   
      
   Freshman Meredith Johnson, 19, was in a psychology class when the   
   university alert popped up on her teacher's power point screen. The   
   teacher and students thought it might have been a scam, she said.   
      
   "Three or four minutes later we got the text," Johnson said. "Stay   
   indoors. Active shooter. That's when I started freaking out."   
      
   Peterson Pierre, a junior biochemistry major, said he woke up to the   
   campus alert. He and his roommate decided to go outside and see what was   
   happening.   
      
   "We saw a body covered with a white sheet," Pierre said.   
      
   Other students hunkered down in their apartments, waiting for the threat   
   to pass.   
      
   "It's honestly kind of terrifying because I was at home and away from my   
   phone at the time,” said Jenny Chen, who stayed in her apartment about two   
   blocks from Watts Hall, listed on the school's website as a Materials   
   Science and Engineering building.   
      
   “I got flooded with messages ... asking me if I was safe and I didn't even   
   realize this was happening,” said Chen, a senior. “Now I'm just scrambling   
   to make sure that people I know are safe as well.”   
      
   Victoria Morishita, a senior studying logistics management student, said   
   she was off campus, but her phone quickly loaded with texts from people   
   near the scene.   
      
   "I was scared because it happened near our CBEC and business building and   
   a lot of my friends were there," she said.   
      
   Facebook activated its safety check, entitled “The Violent Incident in   
   Columbus, Ohio,” allows those in the area to mark themselves “safe,”   
   “unsafe” or “outside the affected area” with the click of a button. Users   
   can also invite friends to mark their safety status.   
      
   Twitter filled with well-wishes from federal, state and local officials.   
      
   ".@TeamTrump watching coverage of what has transpired @ Ohio State -   
   Thoughts & prayers are with the students & administration at this time,"   
   tweeted Dan Scavino, social media director for President-elect Donald   
   Trump.   
      
   "Ohio's thoughts and prayers go out to the Ohio State community," Gov.   
   John Kasich tweeted. "Be safe, listen to first responders."   
      
   Tweeted Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio: "Everyone stay safe — Monitoring this   
   situation closely. Thoughts and prayers with everyone on campus."   
      
   "We are all Buckeyes. Our thoughts are with all of @OhioState and Columbus   
   today," tweeted the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.   
      
   Ohio State’s 1,764-acre campus  is located about 2.5 miles north of   
   Columbus. The school, founded in 1870, is the third-largest campus in the   
   U.S. with about 45,000 undergraduates and 13,000 post-graduates.   
      
      
   --   
   Donald J. Trump, 306 electoral votes to 232, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton and put an end to Barack Obama on November   
   8, 2016.  The clown car parade of the democrat party ran out of gas.   
      
   ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its   
   supporters can dispute that.   
      
   His Omnipotence Barack Hussein Obama, declared himself "Pooptator" of all   
   mentally ill homosexuals and crossdressers, while declaring where they   
   will defecate.   
      
   Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $19 trillion in the seven   
   years he has been in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   Loretta Fuddy, killed after she "verified" Obama's phony birth   
   certificate.   
      
   Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then   
   relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder   
   in order to cover up his own ineptitude.
