(Columbus, OH) — The Ohio State University police officer who shot and killed the suspect in yesterday’s campus attack is being hailed as a hero.

Artan is accused of plowing into a group and then attacking people with a butcher knife, leaving eleven injured.

Horujko has been with the OSU Police Department for nearly two years.

He’s on administrative leave per department policy.
