One dead, ten hospitalized after Ohio State University rampage
One of those injured on Monday was in critical condition, authorities said.

Less than a minute after police were alerted, a campus officer shot and killed the suspect.

"A suspect has been shot and reported deceased," the university said in a statement. "Victim injuries include stab wounds, injury by motor vehicle and other injuries that are being evaluated."

The suspect ran into a group of pedestrians on a street corner with his car before using a weapon against several people, OSU President Dr. Michael Drake said.

The assailant reportedly used a "butcher knife" to slash and stab bystanders.

The university put the campus on lockdown and sent a statement on Twitter urging students to shelter in place.

"Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College," OSU Emergency Management tweeted Monday morning.

The university followed up with another tweet. "Continue to shelter in place in north campus area. Follow directions of Police on scene."


Students tweeted a photo showing they barricaded themselves in one classroom at the university.
University authorities later declared that the situation was under control.

The Ohio State, located in Columbus with 60,000 students, is one of the largest colleges in the US.

Police said it needed time to secure the sprawling campus. Officers were searching the university and were seen escorting people off the campus.

University authorities urged anyone with information about the incident to call police.

The Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is on the ground in Columbus to assist local authorities with the investigation.

A black bag wrapped with masking tape was found in some bushes.
