Kiri Luckey: How Ohio State University harnessed tech to alert students of campus attack
Ohio State University’s Buckeye Alert system warned students of a campus attacker within minutes of the car and knife attack unfolding Monday morning. Nine people were injured in the attack and the suspect was killed by a campus police officer. Monica Moll, the school's public safety director, told reporters the attack took place in front of Watts Hall, the location of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, around 9:52 a.m. ET. A campus officer nearby engaged the suspect, who was attacking people with a butcher knife, and shot and killed him within minutes.
Analysis: This is such a tragedy for those students and their loved ones. All schools should be required to have a device or something that can tell when an attack is coming their way minutes before the attack takes place. This man couldn't have been in his right mind because of how cruel his actions were. This is so sad and I feel tremendously gloomy for that entire campus.
