At least eight people have been taken to the hospital, with one critical and another seven stable, according to the fire department. There are also reports at least one person was attacked with a machete.
Columbus police have confirmed one attacker has been killed.
Others pushed back against the immediate politicization.

Actually, the excuse du jour is that he was "...too frightened to practice his faith."
Hmm, apparently the OSU Muslim Students Association isn't doing it's job and needs to be defunded.
I notice how many secular progressives offer "prayers". To what deity may I ask? Certainly not the Creator God. That hate that deity above all else and work night and day to purge our society from any hint of Him, and they seek to grind anyone who follows Him into silence. The "inclusive" crowd works to exclude the followers of this deity. "Inclusion and diversity" means "anyone except His followers."
