I heard about this today, was hoping it was not one of yall that got shot. Were any of you acquainted with the guy?

Nope, OSU employs about 41,000 people so it's pretty easy to not know the guy involved.  Here are the e-mails we got today from OSU Emergency Management:


7:27am
At approximately 3:30 a.m. today Ohio State's emergency dispatch received a 911 call indicating that a shooting had occurred at the OSU Maintenance Building, 2000 Tuttle Park Place.
Upon arrival, officers confirmed a shooting involving three University employees, none of which were students. One employee is dead. The other two have been transported to the hospital. The investigation is continuing and no names have been released pending notification of family.
The site location has been secured and there are some traffic restrictions around the building. The suspect is in custody.
The university continues normal operations. Classes will be held and normal work schedules are in effect.


11:17am
University Police have confirmed the identities of the victims and suspect in a shooting that occurred on campus earlier this morning. They also have confirmed two deaths.

• Larry Wallington, 48, building services manager, a victim in the shooting, was pronounced dead at the scene earlier this morning.
• Henry Butler, 60, operations shift leader, also a victim, is in stable condition at the OSU Medical Center
• Suspect, Nathaniel Brown, 51, custodial worker, sustained a self-inflicted gunshot at the scene and was transported to OSU Medical Center where he was pronounced dead on arrival

More than 1/2 dozen employees were working at the OSU Maintenance Building, 2000 Tuttle Park Place, when the suspect entered an office suite with a gun and began shooting. Those employees and other coworkers have been offered grief counseling.

The incident appears to be work related. Brown was hired in October 2009.
