Officials at Ohio State, now say the suspect has been identified as 18-year-old Abdul Razak Ali Artan.
He's a legal US resident, born in Somalia and moved to the US in 2014.
Artan is also a student of Ohio State University but it's unclear of his motive for the attack.
Department of Public Safety Director Monica Moll identified the officer who fired the fatal shot, as 28-year-old Alan Horujko. She says he started on the Ohio State police force in January 2015.
Ohio State Police Chief Craig Stone says it was fortunate there was a nearby gas leak that the officer had gone to investigate. Stone says it helped position Horujko to respond to the attack so quickly.
