Knife. The suspect was shot dead by the police officer. About 9 52 a. M. , a male suspect drove the vehicle over the curve west 19, struck pedestrians, he exited the vehicle and used the butcher knife and started slashing people. My thoughts are with the victims on this attack right now. I pray for their safety. I am grateful for our First Responders before further harm could be done. I want to begin with nbcs justice correspondent, Pete Williams and well talk with jim cavanov. Pete, lead us off on what you are hearing of the sequence of event. They believe this was planned. Theyre trying to find out the motive if they can establish one. There are indication that is the suspect left some kind of message before the attack and they are searching this americans media and looking at previous people that he was in touch with and talking to friends of his. They know who it is, we believe we have a name, we are not reporting of it yet until we can be positive of it. We believe this person is a somali refugee who came to the United States in 2014 and is now a lawful resident who came to the United States fly into jfk airport and lived for a time in dallas and moved to columbus, we leave a student at osu, but we are not certain of that. One of the things that emerged here the last hour or hour an and half or so, one person is involved in the attack. Thats an important thing to emphasize. Earlier reports suggested based on what eye witness said that there were two. A second focus Police Activity and a parking garage. Now, Authorities Say that turned out to be not corrected but just one person involved in the attack. Now, the aggressive investigation trying to find out what led to this. Pete, just coming in now to my email is a statement from ohio senator, rob portmean, i want to thank or First Responders responding to the attack today so quickly and professional. Early on, there had been some reports of gunshots. Now we can confirm that there were no gun involved, correct . Well, no gun involved by the attacker. It was shot and killed by campus police. Authorities have not found any firearm or any gun was used in the attack and there is no indication they found the gun in the car. Thank you very much, our Pete Williams is reporting in washington dc. Nbcs alisyn is covering the attack. Lets talk about the injured and try to update where we know of those injuries seemed to be on these people. It was slashed or hit by the weapon the car is being used as weapon, first. As this situation is unfoding duri unfolding and this afternoon. A lot of information coming out of about the number of those injured. Here is the latest that we had. Five were injured as results of being stabbed by a butcher knife and results of injuries from the car and two more had been cut as a result of some kind of activity that is occurred. As authority say this vehicle they believe deliberately jumped the curb and ran into a prowl of people. Thats what led to these injuries. There were no gunshot injuries or wounds at any of the victims. They were injured by a car, vehicle and a by a butcher knife. Rehema, what do we know about this portion of campus, Third Largest in the country and a massive campus. First day back after the thanksgiving holiday for these students. This campus is being about two and a half mile from the center of downtown columbus. The Third Largest university o f the country. 45,000 of them are undergraduate students. This is a mechanical or Engineering Building where this event, this tragedy happened outside that building. And, there was so much activities including authority, there was an earlier report of a gas leak and they believed it was at watts hall. Now, authorities are saying that was not the case. They believed that a fire alarm was pulled as a result possibly of people thinking there was a gas leakme. A lot of things happening around that hour and what led to what, we dont know exactly. Authorities are on the scene, there is an officer on the scene and holds his weapon and he kills the suspect, that was the only gunshot fire as we know at this point. Thats an educational facility and not a residential building. Some with small numbers or large numbers of classrooms. There is an academic building. Rehema, thank you very much. Last we heard from the white house and the press secretary there with josh earnest in the last hour talking about this specifics of what he said Homeland Security has briefed on the situation. Fbi officials in columbus are assisting local authorities as they conduct this investigation. Well defer until local Law Enforcement to disclose Additional Information of what occurred there. There is still a lot of information to review and collect. Obviously, that is difficult situation and our thoughts and prayers are with the people of columbus and the community of ohio state. Joining me now is our analyst, retired atq special, jim cavanov, it is good to have you with us. What wh whats the first thing investigators need to do to button this up to make sure there is not a lingering effect from this one suspect. Right, well, going back to the psychological autopsy, we node the know whats happening in this guys life of the last 90 days. They do that through Electronic Devices and papers at he is house and students interviews. The federal agents and atf and marshals. Theyre all in it and they all have agents assigned at the fbi leads that are always involved with looking for terrorists or terrorist motives. Theyll be familiar with players in the area that they can interview them, too. Well, again, we are learning new information about this suspect of this 18yearold, we are waiting to reveal as we work on other sources to confirm this information on background. There are questions about the language jim, that was used in a tweet that alerted students via social media about a possible shooter on campus. Active shooter on campus, run, hide fight, watts hall. When asked at a brief briefing about that language, take a listen. The publics safety team has done a lot of training. Again, thats why they use those keywords in alerts to remind folks for any violent intruders. So talking there about the options. Is that typical, run, hide fight and lealerts go out to students. People that would be trained like you to know that you are one of the fighters. Yeah, theyll put it out and it is for all of us whether you are receiving the training or not. Thats the order in how you do. You run if you can get away and you hide if you cannot get away and you barricade and you fight if you have no other options. You can get specific training in that or Law Enforcement does, if you do not have any training, thats the three options you are faced with. Thats the order in how you execute them. They put that out multiple times is excellent. You saw students barricading their rooms, thats what you are supposed to do. The reason that works, you see Police Responsibility and they can take care of the situation quickly. However long it took this guy to leave his vehicle and travel some distance, we dont know how far. He was engaged by a close osu officers. Barricade and save your life and if you have no other options at all then you fight. Because if there are multiple people, you know two or three or four, you can take a gunman down even though someone may get shot or all of you being executed. The campus did great here and the police. Now, you are going to see this investigation going really deep to find out every single last thing about this guy to see if they can uncover a motive and associates and why it happened and what could be prevented next time. The suspect is dead and nine injured, taken into the hospital there after this mornings chaotic scene with a suspect using a car and a butcher knife to attack the students. Well work on and bring you more details as soon as we have it. An image we captured here in new york, this is David Patraeus arriving at trump tower. Hes being considered as secretary of state.

From trump tower in new york city, meetings scheduled this afternoon as the president elect trump looks to stock his cabinet. Patraeus is now under consideration for the secretary of state post among other roles and Vice President elect arrived at trump tower and gave this preview of the week ahead. He was saying buckle up and we are buckled and ready to go. Our reporters are working on the latest on this. Nbc anne thomson and kelly odone odonell. What do we know of this meeting and more of the rudy and romney night that he will be considered. Reporter David Patraeus is one of the three candidates wholl be meeting with the president elect to talk about the cabinet position and one that everyone is speculating about the secretary of state position. When it was discovered that he had past classified information to his biographer and girlfriend. Patraeus is serving two years probation for pleading guilty to a misdemeanor involving that incident. Now, hes the only secretary of state candidate that we know about that donald trump is meeting with today. Tomorrow, two more will sit down with the president elect trump. Tennessee senator bob corkel and his last meeting on tuesday with another sit down with former Massachusetts Governor romney. You may ask why hes having a second meeting for romney . Trumps say no, these two men do not know each other well. They are taking another opportunity to sit down and spend some time with them. As to Kellyanne Conway and other trumps aids over mitt romney. Trumps aid sas said only one person is making the choice of secretary of state and thats donald trump. Thank you, kelly. The internal debate over this. This is really leaked out of the public arena and the debate over. Kellyanne conway gave this comment about mitt romney on meet the press. Take a look. People feel betrayed to think that governor romney went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity would be given the most significant cabinet of all, secretary of state. Trump is furious of Kellyanne Conway trashing there are a dispute. There are allies of donald trump believe mitt romney among many other voices out in the Republican Party and a Never Trump Movement that romney was a force of one, he and many of his aids and campaigns past were among the most direct and caustic towards donald trump. They had reasons for it and argued principles for it and call for people to not support donald trump and so those who went through all of that, trump now is the president elect trump. Wonder why he would entrust him. Others argued that it is the team of rivals concept where you have a person of National Stature and someone whos a businessman so they can connect on that level and give him on the position where hes someone who has integrity and has, you know, a history that would expand the trump sort of group of advisers. Other say that hes not the right move. There is a real divide and it is up to the president elect trump. That contentious dialogue israel from something i am hearing from sources as well. Kelly odonell there. Thank you very much. Back to Pete Williams and more on this breaking news coming out of columbus of this attack on the campus of eOhio State University. What do you got .

Frankly, we have been given so many versions of this persons name that i am still no not every time we have it nailed down, it turns out that someone had a different version of it. Until we know for sure, well hold off on using the name out of abundance of cautions here. The bare facts i gave you, they all seem to agree on that. What precisely is the right name, richard alias, we dont know. This person has a Facebook Page that we are looking at. We are looking to see if there is any message that indicates of this attack.

The main thing here is this was a suspect who came to the United States in 2014 was admitted as lawful permanent residence and a somali refugee. Of the motive of the attack, it is still subject of intense investigation but no conclusions on that yet. Pete, can you go over again for folks have been watching, they heard different ages and locations for this suspect. The age that you have now compared to what we had before and geographic location as you point out moving from somalia and i think you said pakistan into dallas. Thats not changed. Thats what we have been told that this person was born in somalia and came to pakistan . 2007 with his mother and seven siblings as refugees and came to the United States in 2014, moved to dallas and lived in dallas for a time and columbus. Not clear whether this person was a student. We have been told that the person was a student at osu, we are not certain of that now. The earlier age is 18 and the age we have now is 23.
