Haven't watched the news but this is the email we got at work..... Also heard he had containers of urine in his car? I havent talked to the officers yet.
On January 7, 2015, at approximately 12:45 pm, police with Port Columbus International Airport (CMH) observed a suspicious vehicle parked in a restricted area outside the airport terminal. At about the same time, officers were alerted to a man who attempted to purchase a plane ticket with identification belonging to a female. Airline personnel became suspicious, refused to sell him a ticket, and alerted Port Columbus police.
An officer approached the suspect who had returned to the suspicious vehicle outside the terminal. The man initially spoke with the officer then suddenly produced a knife and lunged at the officer, attempting to stab him. The officer fired at the suspect, who momentarily dropped to the ground and then got back up and continued advancing towards the officer. A backup officer responded at which point the suspect quickly moved towards him with the knife forcing the officer to retreat backwards towards the terminal entrance where a third officer was positioned. The third officer shot multiple times, striking the suspect, ending the attack.
Officers approached the suspect to assess his injuries and discovered additional knives in his possession. Medical personnel arrived and pronounced the suspect dead on the scene.
The officers also discovered items on the suspect which prompted them to contact the Columbus Fire Bomb Squad, which also searched the suspect’s vehicle. Suspicious items were removed from the scene.
