Mother Of OSU Attacker Says Her Son Was Killed ‘For No Reason’

On Thursday, the mother of Somali-born Ohio State University student Abdul Razak Ali Artan said before his funeral that her son was killed for “no reason.”

The 18-year-old Artan drove his car into a crowd, exited the vehicle and proceeded to attack nearby students with a butcher knife before being fatally shot by campus police officer Alan Horujko, who was the first to arrive on the scene.

Artan was the only fatality in the attack, which left 11 people injured at the campus in Columbus, Ohio.

Ahmed Sh. Ahmed, the director of the Ibn Taymia Mosque and Islamic Center where the ceremony was held, recalled Artan’s mother in tears as she kissed the body of her son for a final time before his burial.

“She was crying, and said, ‘I love you, my son. I know they kill you for no reason,'” Ahmed said.

“I asked his mom yesterday, ‘Did you see any change, any kind of change?’ and she said, ‘No, everything was normal, everything was the same,’ Ahmed told WCMH-TV in Columbus.

Ahmed said relatives and those close to Artan perceived him to be a “nice young man” and “a good student.”

He said that Artan’s aunt told him her nephew “had a dream to be someone to help his community and serve his community.”

Artan worked at a Home Depot a few miles from his home. A customer of the store told the Columbus Dispatch that Artan seemed “very happy, very engaged in his work. Very polite.”

Monday morning prior to the attack, Artan purchased a knife at a Walmart, although authorities have not confirmed if it is the same knife used in the attack.

Columbus police and the FBI believe Artan was likely inspired by extremist propaganda, although they have not yet found a clear link between Artan and any terrorist groups.

A social media post made just hours before the attack and believed to have been written by Artan said, “I am sick and tired of my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed everywhere.”

The post talks about reaching a “boiling point” after seeing Muslims being killed in Burma and and concludes with, “I can’t take it anymore.”

Mama needs to go back to her Mooslim Hell hole where they don’t kill people for no reason, other than because.

I would have done it and I don’t have a stinkin badge.

He was already attacking others, with the intent to kill and putting him down like a rabid dog was the humane thing to do...

Besides, you are crazy azz muslims, idolizing and romancing death...just not your own...

The American people owe her something.

I’m thinking a fully paid air flight back to Somalia which will drop her off approximately 10,000 feet from the hellhole from which she emerged.
