"Watching the news unfold at Ohio State University. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the students and administration," Trump posted on his Facebook page.

"Excellent job by the Ohio State University Emergency Management Team (OSU_EMFP) in immediately notifying students & faculty via social media with the message: 'Buckeye Alert: Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College.'"

He added: "THANK YOU to all FIRST RESPONDERS who reacted immediately."

One suspect is dead following the attack, an OSU spokesman confirmed in a statement.

Local reports indicate at least eight people have been transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A ninth was reportedly treated at the scene.

"Victim injuries include stab wounds, injury by motor vehicle and other injuries that are being evaluated," the OSU spokesman said, though he did not say how many victims there were.

A shelter in place order has been lifted and classes have been canceled for the remainder of the day.

"Our top priority remains the safety and security of our campus community. Our thoughts and prayers are with those injured and their families."

Around 10 a.m., the university's emergency management department warned of an active shooter situation and urged those on campus to follow the directions of police.
