Students at Ohio State University returned back to classes today after a Thanksgiving break to be met with a nightmare.
Students were urged to “run, hide, fight” after reports of an active shooter on campus were released via OSU’s campus police Twitter account.
Details are still slim but it has just been reported that a suspect has been pronounced dead and the school’s lockdown has been lifted. Amongst the dead, CNN also reported that eight people have suffered injuries with one victim in critical condition.
“My roommate and I heard about three or four gunshots from across the street, and soon after we heard a bunch of police and ambulances pull up across the street,” Sophomore Wyatt Crosher told CNN.
“We can’t see the building where the shooting happened because of a dorm blocking our view. It truly sounded like gunshots, and really soon after we heard a bunch of sirens. We can see the police cars from our dorm.”
Classes have since been cancelled for the rest of the day. OSU is home to more than 65,000 students and has one of the largest main campuses in the United States.
We will continue to keep all affected by the shooting in our prayers. Lets chat below!
