Somali Islamist attacks with car and knife at Ohio state university
A Somali who was a permanent legal resident of the US attacked at least 10 people at Ohio's state university before being gunned down. NBC news (via iOwntheWorld) reports:
An Ohio State University student plowed a car into a campus crowd, then jumped out and started stabbing people with a butcher knife before being shot dead by police Monday morning, officials said.Oh, they know it was "lone wolf" jihadism that motivated the monster, who should now rot in hell for what he did. As always, their refusal to acknowledge the possibilities is galling.
Nine 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.
Law enforcement officials told NBC News the suspect's name is Abdul Artan, an 18-year-old student at the university. He was a Somali refugee who left his homeland with his family in 2007, lived in Pakistan and then came to the United States in 2014 as a legal permanent resident of the United States, officials said.
The motive was unknown, but officials said the attack was clearly deliberate and may have been planned in advance.
