particular suspect at this point. we haven t searched the vehicle yet. that s to be done. we don t know what we ll find inside the vehicle. any indication of multiple suspects at all? no indication for sure. reports of that are being checked out. we have a lot of witnesses to interview with regard to the aggravated assault that the suspect did. we ll continue to find out whether or not there was anybody else involved. will you and campus police step up more police presence on campus and throughout the city? that s up to osu pd. we don t have information that tells us there is a conspiracy going on. we understand there were at least two people taken out of the granuarage in handcuffs. we believe people fled the scene. they might have gone to their vehicles. they might have hunkered down when they realized the police were searching the building. it was obvious we were doing a search. until we know their motives,
i was there within a minute or two of shots being fired. there were already police officers down the street. i saw three or four police cars coming down lane and down high street. everybody i was around was running in the opposite direction telling people to move in the opposite direction. i was in a house off campus. i went straight there. everyone seemed to be in a panic running away. when you got back to your house, were your roommates there? were they texting with people on campus? had the word started to spread? a couple of my roommates were home. as soon as it happened i was on the phone calling people trying to figure out if it was okay. luckily everybody i know is okay. all of our prayers for them. everyone is okay. i was contacting everybody. it seems like a somber mood on campus obviously now. i don t think it weighs in
media and do not know they are safe. that would help us out if they reach out to contact loved ones. let them know they are okay. that would be a great assistance to us. have you been able to reach the victims families to let them know what happened? i believe most of the victims have probably had a chance to o codo so. i can t guarantee all have. most of the victims were awake and talking. i would expect they would have had contact. can any of you speak as to when the roads around campus, specifically 315, will have normal traffic flow. we opened it a while ago? and campus? we are holding now college and woodrough and 19th. i believe lane avenue should be open soon if not already. one more question. chief, this might be for you. did the officer warn the suspect they were about to shoot? was there a warning, do you know? as far as i know he engaged the suspect, commands weren t
secondly, was the attack deliberately planned for the morning. because it is a deliberate attack. there is no question this was a deliberate attack. did he plan to go out on the campus monday morning and attack a crowd or would he somehow boil over carrying a virus of hate and decide to act? that s an open question. it sounds from your reporting and discussions here that the fire alarm was something that the chief of police said happened earlier. happened earlier. so maybe unrelated and just caused maybe more pedestrians from campus to be on the sidewalk. that might be a totally unrelated event. joining the discussion is clint van zandt, former fbi profiler. i know this is early. we don t know much about the suspect other than what nbc s pete williams has reported that he s 18 years old.
rolled up, ready to go. we have a process that s university wide. when the buckeye alert goes out we jump into action. the active shooter protocol is something that went out across campus. we internally have what s called a code yellow or disaster drill. we made phone calls to key individuals both the emergency department, surgeons, nurses, respiratory therapists and people descend. we trained for this. we worked with other hospitals in the city to train for these types of events. i can t tell you how proud i am to work here at the university. and to see my colleagues come together in a moment that all of us would really hate to have happen on any campus much less our own. it was great to see the response. i m glad people were not any further injured than they were. dr. drake, if you could talk a little bit about the mood on campus now and if you could just
