COLUMBUS, Ohio – Officials say at least nine people were injured, one critically, in an incident that began at the campus’ chemical engineering building. At least four of the eight wounded have gunshot wounds.

WBNS reports the incident began around 9:30 a.m. when firefighters were responding to reports of a chlorine leak at the chemical engineering building. Someone had run a vehicle into the building, and then someone started attacking people inside the building with a knife.

A short time after that incident, the emergency alert system for Ohio State University sent out an alert about an active shooter on campus.

“Run, hide, fight” is standard protocol for active shooter situations. It means: Run, evacuate if possible; Hide, get silently out of view; or Fight, as a last resort, take action to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter if your life is in imminent danger. –CBS

Is this the message that was being shared on social media that caused the “media” to report the suspect/s were armed with a gun?
