| Ohio State Stabbing: Somali Refugee (stabber) Killed | |
| 2016-11-28 | |
| [NBCNews] An Ohio State University student plowed into a campus crowd with a car, then jumped out and started stabbing people with a butcher knife before being shot dead by police Monday morning, officials said. Ten people were taken to hospitals after the ambush, and one was in critical condition. The incident was initially reported as an "active shooter" situation, but the suspect did not shoot anyone. A police officer was on the scene within a minute and killed the assailant. "He engaged the suspect and eliminated the threat," OSU Police Chief Craig Stone said. The suspect's name was not released, but law enforcement officials told NBC News he was an 18-year-old Ohio State student, a Somali refugee who was a legal permanent resident of the United States. The motive was unknown, but officials said the attack was clearly deliberate and may have been planned in advance.

| #25 Gov. John Kasich tweeted that "Ohio's thoughts and prayers go out to the Ohio State community." He asked people involved to "be safe, listen to first responders." Is that why you voted Hillary? |

| #23 NBC News: Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 18, wrote on what appears to be his Facebook page that he had reached a "boiling point" and made a reference to "lone wolf attacks" and cites radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. "America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah (community). We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that," the post said. Two hours before that, a cryptic post on the page said: "Forgive and forget. Love." Officials cautioned that they have not determined a motive for the Monday morning ambush, which sent 11 people to the hospital. (No kidding; that's really in the story. Apparently they're checking the DNA to see if he's related to Harbaugh.) |

| #22 So Sheila Jackass-Lee and Tim Kaine have made statements deploring the senseless killing of a jihadi in the middle of his rampage. Send them both to Somalia as "ambassadors". Never let them come back. |

#21 CAIR on Columbus TV station spewing the predictable BS that this has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Just like the attack on the Nazareth restaurant had nothing to do with Islam. True fact: the words and deeds of Mohammed have nothing to do with Islam. I know this because Muslims have said so. |

| #16 Obviously motive has not been established. I'm sure they're waiting to see if any Maize and Blue paraphernalia turns up when they search his room. |

| #15 A witness told NBC4 Columbus that people evacuated Watts Hall after a fire alarm was pulled, "then a car came along and started hitting those who evacuated." I think "planned in advance" is likely, with 'additional suspects' plausible. |
