Crimes were committed against people near a University. Unbelievable, I know.

Its difficult to imagine but its happened, one person has committed crimes against two other people.

Are you going to be ok?

near the OSU campus.

Near, not on campus.

A spokesperson with Columbus Police says the victims are not students.

So this is not a school shooting, has nothing whatsoever to do with the school or it's students, but the MSM wants to at least hint that somehow the school was involved and students were in danger from a gunman loose on campus.

Seems they are desperate to link schools and guns at any cost. Gotta keep up the fear and the anti gun agenda.

It was near the campus, about 4 blocks. An armed suspect is not yet in custody. A 'shelter in place' alert was given to the campus. It is not sensational or making anything up that did not happen. The OSU police worked closely with Columbus police and for good reason. Nothing was overblown.

I would have added 'none of the victims were OSU students', but that was released in ther last few minutes. For something that happened 1.5 hours ago, it is not unusual for that detail to tke just an hour and a half to to be released by the hospital or police.

Not quite sure why this is being picked apart. Thanks for showing up later to pick it apart.

It was 1:30 pm, when it happened. Not 1pm. The news had it at 1:45 and I had it at 1:50. Note the time stamp of the post.

I do note 'home invasion' . I do give the street and near what street. Thankyou for repeating parts of my OP later.

One, you're not supposed to notice stuff like that, but then you mention it?

Really, what are we going to do with you?

I haven't lived in Columbus for about 6 years so things may have changed but I remember only having to walk a block or two from campus to be in some pretty shady neighborhoods. This isn't really a rare occurrence for OSU. Hope the victims are ok and they catch the scumbag.

PS: GO BUCKS!

In the words of Tevya . . .

!!!!!!!IT'S TRADITION!!!!!!!

Besides . . . a significant percentage of folks seem to derive their sense of worth and impact on the world as measured by the degree to which (amount and intensity) they can haughtily nit-pick virtually any assertion, any fact, any position, any value, any relationship--nit-pick such into the tiniest bits; then argue further over the bits; blow them to the 4 winds and then complain because they were blown to the 4 winds. . . .

Sadly, when it comes to this sort of story . . . it's hard to ferret out the authentic and worthwhile critical thinking from petty nit-picking. I think it's as much an attitude thing as it is a behavior thing.

I think you've done a bang-up job on this thread. It may be better to ignore folks demanding something different. In a population this large, there will ALWAYS be the vocal disappointed, the prissy, the petty and those demanding that the OP do it or say it differently--of course--according to the petty one's constructions on reality.

Like the man with the donkey and stuff to carry--there's no pleasing everyone.

I have a lot of confidence that you'll post the better info that you discover. And that's quite sufficient, for me. THANKS MUCH.

Thank you, looks like these shootings are losing peoples interests these days unless they have multipal deaths, the more the merrier I guess. Oh man, where is all this headed?
