MSNBC Pete Williams is reporting that the suspect who was killed today after stabbing multiple Ohio State University students was a 20-year-old Somali refugee who was also a student at OSU. CBS News is reporting the same thing. It is also being reported that the student’s name is Ali Muhammad.
Who Is Ali Muhammad?
There’s not a lot that we know about the suspect who attacked Ohio State University students with a car and with a knife, except that we know that he’s a Somalian refugee who was a student. His age is being reported as either 20 years old or 18 years old.
What Happened?
According to witnesses, Ali drove over a curb with his Honda car and ran over a couple of students. He then exited his car with a large butcher knife and started to attack multiple students. An Ohio State police officer arrived at the scene within less than a minute and shot/subdued Muhammed with his gun.
Ali died from the gunshot wounds he sustained.

We’ve reached out to a professor at Ohio State University who might have had some contact with Ali. We’ll update with any comment.
