An Ohio State University police officer who stopped an attack on campus in 2016 was honored by President Trump Wednesday at a ceremony recognizing first responders. 

Trump awarded the Medal of Valor to Officer Alan Horujko, who shot and killed Abdul Razak Ali Artan after the 18-year-old drove into a crowd outside a campus building and attacked people with a knife. The attack left 13 people injured.

Thirteen other first responders were also awarded medals yesterday. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
