Nine people were injured in an attack on the campus of Ohio State University this morning. Shortly before 10 a.m., an 18-year-old Somali-American man drove his car into a group of people standing outside an engineering classroom building. He then got out of the vehicle and began stabbing people with a butcher knife. The man was shot and killed by a police officer who was nearby. Ohio State officials initially sent out an alert saying there was an "active shooter" and to "run, hide, fight." The shots heard were attributed to the police firing at the suspect. After an hour and half the shelter-in-place was lifted, but all classes were canceled for the remainder of the day. The FBI and other agencies have joined Ohio State and Columbus police in the investigation. They are looking into whether it was a terrorist attack. The attacker has been identified as a student named Abdul Razak Ali Artan.

Former Green Party candidate Jill Stein filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania Commonwealth courts this afternoon to contest the Presidential election results in the state. The suit was filed on behalf of 100 Pennsylvania voters. Her lawyers will have to present evidence that election fraud was probable for the court to order a recount. Computer scientists that suggested that hacking was possible and recommended a recount in several battle ground states have said there is no evidence that it actually occurred. Pennsylvania's Democratic Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortes says, "There is no evidence whatsoever that points to any type of irregularity in any way, shape or form." Another way to trigger a recount in Pennsylvania is if individual voters (3 per precinct) file notarized affidavits with the county clerks' offices. There are 9,163 voting precincts in the state. A recount will be made in Wisconsin. Stein is expected to seek a recount in Michigan, which just certified Trump as the winner today.

Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver Nelson Agholor will be inactive tonight in the Monday Night Football matchup versus the Green Bay Packers. Last week, Agholor was coming off a game in Seattle with several glaring miscues. His 8.3% drop rate is 10th highest in the league. He said last week, "I did it to myself. I started getting in my own head and just trying so hard to think about being perfect, and when miscues were there and they were exposed, I just let it eat at me." WR Paul Turner was signed off the practice squad last week and will make his professional debut. He'll join Jordan Matthews, Dorial Green-Beckham, and Bryce Treggs in the wide receiver corps tonight.
