Katie Haidet- The Ohio State University attack

Summary: The Ohio State University student who carried out a knife attacked on campus Monday morning. In a pervious Facebook post Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the attacker, stated he was "sick and tired" of seeing fellow Muslims "killed and tortured.” Artan’s Facebook page is being examined by investigators to declare if the attack was terrorism. Arian ran his car into a group of people on the campus before exiting the car and charged at others with a knife. Eleven people were hospitalized during the attack. Ohio State police officer Alan Horujko shot Artan after he disobeyed orders to stop.


Analysis: This article was published on CNN by Emanuella Grinberg, Shimon Prokupecz and Holly Yan on November 28, 2016. I was very sensitive to this topic because my sister attends The Ohio State University and was on the campus during the attack. She was safe in her apartment with her roommates, but knowing that here friends were close to the crime scene was frightening. This article shows people that you never know what could happen, but you need to always know what to do if you are in that moment at that time. Back in 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School, there was a shooting killing 20 children and 6 adult staff members. Things like this do happen which is scary and why schools practice lock-down drills.
