Attack at Ohio State injures at least nine Suspect, identified as a student, crashed his vehicle into pedestrians and cut victims with a knife LYDIA MURRAY Daily Staff Reporter
A attack on the Ohio State University’s campus Monday morning left at least nine victims injured. According to a statement from OSU police, a suspect, who was shot by campus police, ran victims over with a car and cut individuals
with a butcher knife. Eight of those injured are stable, but one is in critical condition, according to the Associated Press. The AP also stated that the shooter has been identified as OSU student Abdul Razak Ali Artan by the university’s public safety director Monica Moll. Artan was killed by Alan Horujko, a police officer at
the university, after crashing his vehicle into pedestrians and attacking students with a knife. A shelter in place on campus was lifted late Monday morning, after initial reports of an active shooter situation. Law enforcement officials are still conducting an investigation and campus sweep.
OSU police told media they did alo receive reports of shots fired in a campus building, although no reports of bullet wounds or injuries have been released. No deaths have been reported aside from a shooter, according to the AP. OSU emergency management tweeted Monday morning alerting students about the situation, urging them to seek
refuge and defend themselves if necessary. According to the tweet, a shooter was active in Watts Hall, OSU’s materials science and engineering building. The “run, hide, fight” recommendation is part of standard active shooter protocol, advising students to evacuate if possible, get See OSU, Page 3
Three weeks after Election Day, the 2016 presidential election has officially been certified in Michigan by the state Board of Canvassers, with President-elect Donald Trump winning the state popular vote — along with all 16 electoral votes — by a 10,704vote margin over Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. In total, Trump won 2,279,543 votes to Clinton’s 2,268,839, according to the Michigan Secretary of State. Candidates now have 48 hours to file for a recount. Jill Stein, former Green Party presidential candidate, announced Monday that she has filed petitions to recount the vote in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, charging that there might have been hacks or irregularities in the way votes were counted. “After a presidential election tarnished by the use of outdated and unreliable machines and accusations of irregularities and hacks, people of all political persuasions are asking if our election results are reliable,” Stein wrote in her statement. “We See BALLOTS, Page 3

About 150 students gathered Monday afternoon in an Angell Hall auditorium for “Election 2016: Looking Under the Hood and Down the Road,” a panel of University of Michigan’s political science faculty also discussed the recent presidential election as a monumental shift in American politics.

On Monday, Laurence Ball, professor of economics at Johns Hopkins University, charged that the United States Federal Reserve was partially responsible for the 2008 bankruptcy for neglecting to bail out the Lehman Brothers. The lecture was in Hutchins Hall to a group of about 30 students. Lehman was the fourthlargest investment bank in the United States when it declared bankruptcy. A combination of falling stock prices, rating downgrades, increases in credit default swaps premiums on its debt and negative commentary in the media would result in the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. See LEHMAN, Page 3
