The suspect in Monday’s Ohio State attack has been identified as Abdul Razak Ali-Artan.

Artan, 18, ‘was a Somali refugee who left his homeland with his family in 2007, lived in Pakistan and then came to the United States in 2014 as a legal permanent resident of the United States’, NBC news reported.

The suspect was shot and killed by police.

At least ten people were hospitalized for injuries after Artan allegedly jumped a curb with his car before exiting and stabbing people at random.
