The vast majority of these reports don't pan out to being a dire event and it could be anything at this stage. Nonetheless, we are up-to-date somewhat.

One person dead, so, we don't know if that could be the shooter or whom and yes, I heard that a number of people were sent to the hospital.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State University is on lockdown this morning following the report of an active shooter at Watts Hall.

At least seven people have been hospitalized and the alleged attacker was apparently shot by police, according to reports.

Police snipers are on buildings and there are reports that not all the suspects have been apprehended.

The person may have had a machete, attacked people, and then was shot, according to reports.

Up to 8 shot, at least 1 critical but alive.


Just reported the shooter is dead.


They are telling the students to stay in their rooms, lock the door and to defend themselves with throwing things and yelling.

RT_America: #OhioState professor tells local media a colleague was attacked with a machete at Watts Hall ...


Attacks with a machete are almost always Islamic terrorism. This kind of attack is common in Africa. And Muslims have done machete attacks in Israel and all over the world.


Using a machete is not typical for Americans or Westerners in general.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Apparently there is more than one suspect.

So, it's not looking like "I failed a test and I'm mad at the world" scenario.

It sounds very much like "sudden jihad syndrome".
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Too early to trust these sorts of reports.  Best to wait a bit until better information is available.

Yes, of course. As we all know, these stories tend to change as more information comes in.  Just as I was speculating, the news media also fills in blanks in knowledge with speculation.

Some reporting on the Ohio news stations that some were run over by auto, the intruder had a machete and a fire arm.
No doubt it will be days before the entire story is filled in.
For now we pray for the victims and their loved ones.

I was just watching the news and they reported all the injured were stabbed (possible way to deflect muslim machete attack) and none were life threatening.  This must sadden gun control nuts.

From The Ohio State University newspaper:

http://thelantern.com/2016/11/police-active-shooter-on-north-campus/

UPDATE 12:31: During the incident this morning, Jerry Kovacich, a third-year in welding engineering, witnessed a man in a motor vehicle try to drive into a crowd after a fire alarm went off. After the car crashed, the man then attacked bystanders with a knife.

“I didn’t see anything with the shooter, what happened was it was outside of MacQuigg Lab,” Kovacich said. “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.”

A statement from Ohio State said that injuries sustained Monday morning include “stab wounds, injury by motor vehicle and other injuries that are being evaluated.”

A press conference is to be held Monday afternoon, OSU officials have not yet set a time.

It appears that the only shots fired were from the cop that took the guy down.

Update 1:23 pm: According to Ohio State police chief Greg Stone said at 9:52 a.m., the suspect drove onto the sidewalk on 19th Avenue and struck pedestrians. Afterwards, the man exited his vehicle with a butcher’s knife and began attacking people. An officer arrived at the scene and engaged the subject and ended the threat. According to Stone, there are nine people injured, with eight in stable condition and one in critical condition. All injuries are believed to be no-life threatening, and the rumors of a second suspect proved to be untrue. Two individuals removed from the Lane Avenue garage are no longer suspects.
