The tragic and senseless shooting in Texas on Tuesday undoubtedly has affected many of us and stirred great sorrow. All of Buckeye Nation joins in mourning for the victims, as we did for those killed in the mass-shooting in Buffalo and all other acts of violence nationwide. Personally, I am devastated by these massacres.

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I share that our second student who was hospitalized in critical condition has passed away. Every Buckeye loss is heartbreaking, and these tragic deaths in our community in such a short period of time are devastating.

Our community has suffered a tragic loss with the death of one of our students earlier today. Another student is currently hospitalized in critical condition. A third student has, thankfully, been released from the hospital. We are grieving and extend our deepest sympathies to the students’ family and friends.
