Suspect killed in mass knife-attack at Ohio State University identified as Abdul Artan, a Somali-born legal resident
An Ohio State University student plowed a car into a campus crowd, then jumped out and started stabbing people with a butcher knife before being shot dead by police Monday morning, officials said.
