OSU Officer Praised for 'Fabulous Job' Taking Down Campus Attacker
Ohio State University's public safety director praised the quick and responsible actions of the police officer who killed the suspect in Monday's attack on campus.
"We all owe [him] a debt of gratitude," Monica Moll said of OSU Police Officer Alan Horujko.
Horujko, 28, is a nearly two-year veteran of the campus police department, and Moll said he took action immediately after seeing Abdul Razak Ali Artan allegedly drive a vehicle into a number of pedestrians.
At 9:52 a.m. local time, Horujko radioed to his dispatcher that a car had hit "seven or eight" people.
A short time later, he radioed that the man had a knife, as Artan got out of the vehicle and began slashing bystanders with a butcher knife.
Moll praised Horujko for a "fabulous job" in "using deadly force to stop the threat".
