one has orthopedic injury and the other actually has a minor neurologic injury with a skull fracture and is being observed, is awake and talking, and appears to be stable by what i m told by my colleagues there. there are two individuals taken to grant that i mentioned earlier today with lacerations and then one additional patient that has shown up at grant hospital who was a victim of being hit by the car, who had an orpd injury and has since been discharged from their emergency department. with that i ll turn things over. we have a very elaborate camera system on the campus, and we went back and checked the video, and we were able to pick up the suspect vehicle entering campus
safe. let s go live now to columbus, ohio where the university news conference is getting under way on the attack. let s listen in. they did that. they ve got to secure places and then forces from a variety of local enforcement from our campus, our city and our state joined together and the fbi joined together on campus to sweep the campus to make sure there was no further threat, and then approximately 90 minutes later, the buildings were released. i have here with me the people who were directly on the scene, and they ll speak in a moment. i just want to say that first we had a chance to speak with the officer who was the first responder and thank him for following his training in being able to neutralize the circumstances within roughly one minute. and also i was able to visit three of the people who are injured who are here in the hospital to let them know how much we are praying and supporting them in coming to a complete and speedy recovery. the ones who were here in the ho

arrived, so i was able to talk to her mother who was much calmer having arrived than she had been hearing there was an injury. but this was a student who was injured and waited an hour and a half until the building was cleared to bring herself here. it s just nice to see they weren t hurt more. i m in the hospital on a more regular basis and see people, and it s nice to have people released. [ inaudible question ] first of all, a senior faculty member all had resiliency to know that things happen, unfortunately, and what s most important after that is that we re able to respond appropriately. i felt very good about that community spirit. also, the student who waited to come was comforted by her classmates during the time we were holding the campus on lockdown. luckily she wasn t injured so seriously she felt like she needed an ambulance at that
