Police named Abdul Razak Ali Artan as the assailant in an Ohio State University attack on Monday, hours after he drove into a crowd of people, exited the car and stabbed bystanders with a butcher knife. Police said Artan, who was fatally shot by police, was a student at the university. Monica Moll, OSU public safety director, said “we do believe the threat ended” when the officer shot the suspect. Ohio’s governor, John Kasich, was monitoring the situation and spoke with the university president, Michael Drake, according to a governor’s office spokeswoman. “Ohio’s thoughts and prayers go out to the Ohio State community,” Kasich said in a statement.
