Religion plays role in Ohio shooting

On Monday morning Ohio State University experienced an attack, changing the campus forever. Ohio State student Abdul Razak Ali Artan drove his car into a group of students on the Columbus campus. Artan then stabbed 11 people who were hospitalized because of their injuries. Failing to listen to Ohio State law enforcement, Police Officer Alan Horukjo shot and killed Artan to keep him from injuring anyone else. According to CNN, after investigating Artan’s Facebook, law enforcement found a post that read Artan was “sick and tired” of seeing Muslims being “killed and tortured.” The latest article released by CNN said law enforcement is working to determine if this attack was an act of terror, or not.
