Mostly lurker here. I work at the community college here in Columbus and live one mile from OSU campus.

I just saw an update that bomb squad was called due to something they found near campus.

ETA and now saying 9 injured

One of my best friends just started working there today. My heart stopped when i saw this. I texted her, she is ok, they evacuated.

I could weep. Its never hit this close to home before, despite working in higher ed for 10 years

[redheadk]

NO.

[andwhat]

According to a friend one in custody, one on the loose.

[dharma81]

The student newspaper reported seeing at least one body bag, not seeing that confirmed anywhere.

They are saying one shooter has made his way into a nearby hotel.

[isabel]

I really hate how hardened I have become to incidents like this.

[smock]

It sounds like at least one shooter is dead. I hope that's the only death today.

[dharma81]

They 2 people in custody, taken from parking garage; unclear if these are suspected students or just precautionary measure.

ETA and yes, one suspect confirmed dead

[andwhat]

A friend is saying this started this morning with someone running their vehicle into the science building and then attacking people with a knife.

Hearing reports that 1 shooter is dead.

[mdgirl]

Has anyone heard what part of campus this is? I have a friend who works at the hospital.

[picksthemusic]

Oh no! Praying for the families of the victims.

It's North campus, not really near hospital.

It apparently started when the fire alarm was pulled. Once people were outside, that's when the vehicle came careening into/near the crowd.

I cannot imagine being a parent of someone at the school. Even if you have heard that they are safe, how do you ever let your kid out of your sight again?

[mskitkat]

Oh my goodness. I know so many people at Ohio state.

[JLV]

Holy crap. I hope everyone is OK.

[dharma81]

Just heard a confirmation that they are still looking for a another suspect. Law enforcement says there's still a threat and treating it as such.

Do you know if this is near the chemistry demo lab? That's where my friend works.

My friend said this is the science building. There is a map on CNN that might give you more information.

ETA: I pray your friend is OK

[ufcasey]

I hope everyone's friends and loved ones are safe and unharmed.

[bronxgirl]

How terrifying. I don't think I know anyone there now, but this hits home b/c that's my alma mater.

If it is one of the main chem labs, then they are very close to that area, but I have not heard any of them named as being directly involved in the situation. It would definitely be a building where people would be sheltering in place. I hope your friend is ok!

So far, still hearing 8-9 injured, but up to 7 of them have been confirmed as having non-life threatening injuries. I have heard only one in critical condition.
