A man who injured nine people, one critically, in a rampage on Monday morning at Ohio State University was of Somali descent, say US officials. Abdul Razak Ali Artan, 18, rammed his car into a group of pedestrians on campus then got out and began stabbing people before police shot him dead. Somali-born Artan was living in the US as a legal permanent resident, unnamed officials told AP news agency. The Ohio State incident began at 10:00 local time on Monday when a vehicle jumped the kerb at the campus, striking pedestrians near Watts Hall, the science and engineering building. Ohio State Police Chief Craig Stone said the driver got out of the vehicle and began stabbing bystanders with a "butcher's knife".
