COLUMBUS — A police officer who shot and killed the man responsible for a car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University a year ago credits his training for allowing him to quickly stop the man.
Ohio State Officer Alan Horujko says that training kept his world from collapsing in on him during the moments when he shot the attacker.
Horujko said in a videotaped interview released by the university Monday that he had completed a scenario involving a simulated knife attack only a month earlier.
Abdul Razak Ali Artan launched the attack that injured 13 people a year ago Tuesday.
The university will hold a 30-minute commemorative event Tuesday:
#Buckeyestrong: Moment of Reflection; Ohio Union Great Hall, 1:00 p.m.
Horujko has declined interview requests, but the university said he agreed to share his experiences through the Ohio State-produced video as the anniversary of the attack approached.
The university is also releasing today the final investigative file on the attack, said university spokesman Bruce Johnson.
