Today’s Incident at Ohio State

Many of you by now have heard about the incident this morning on the Ohio State campus, involving an attacker who is now reportedly dead.  At least eight people have reportedly been hospitalized.  I’m fine — thanks to those of you who have asked — and as far as I know so is everyone at the law school.  I wasn’t far from the place of the attack, about to park my car, when I got the text alert and saw the sirens, then headed straight home.  The shelter-in-place order at the university has now been lifted, though classes have been cancelled for the rest of the day.  Like everyone else, I’m sure, my thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured and their families.

Update:  I’ve edited the above post to delete references to a “shooter.”  Although the suspect was so described in an alert sent to the Ohio State community, subsequent reporting indicates that no gun was used.
