Earlier today, the Ohio State University was under lock down after a student, identified as Abdul Razak Ali Artan, drove a car through a group of students and the began attacking people with a knife. Eleven people were taken to the hospital, but all are expected to recover. The rampage was ended shortly after it began when Artan was shot and killed by a police officer.
