Ohio State officials lauded Officer Alan Horujko in stopping Abdul Razak Ali Artan before he could injure more people, according to CNN and the Washington Times.
Horujko shot Artan when he did not put down his weapon as ordered, Ohio State President Dr. Michael V. Drake said in a news conference Monday.
