Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an 18-year-old from Somalia, was featured in the Ohio State University’s student publication, The Lantern, on August 25, 2016. The feature was, “Humans of Ohio State”. Artan talked about being Muslim and finding a place to pray. Just before 10 am Monday, police say Artan drove his car into a group of people at Wexner Hall and then proceeded to attack people with a butcher knife. Nine people were taken to area hospitals after sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. Police shot and killed the suspect. In the feature, Artan was described as a third year logistic management.
