3 Shot, 1 Killed at Ohio State University

One person was killed and two others were injured in a shooting that occurred early Tuesday on the Ohio State University Campus. According to OSU police chief Paul Denton, all three people shot were employees of the university, and none of them were students.

The shooting occurred around 3:30am at the OSU maintenance building, which is east of the stadium and north of the McCracken power plant. OSU police learned of the shooting this morning after receiving a 911 call.

The two people who were injured in the shooting were taken to the OSU Medical Center. One was in critical condition, and the other in stable condition. Police have in custody an individual described as a suspect in the shooting. While the suspect's name has not been released, OSU did indicate around 9:00am today that the suspect is an OSU employee.

The names of those who had been shot were also not released as police notify family.

An ongoing investigation this morning led to the closure of Tuttle Park Drive south of Woody Hayes Drive. OSU classes and work schedules are continuing as scheduled, but the university did notify students of the incident through its emergency notification system.
