Officer Alan Horujko is a Legit Hero

614now Staff

Chalk it up to right time, right place but OSU police officer Alan Horujko, who was by Watts Hall because of a gas leak, single-handedly stopped the OSU assailant from injuring and maiming more people. This guy is a hero and 100% deserves praise and accolades for acting quickly and with purpose.

Officer Horujko is a Cinci native who joined the OSU Police Department in January of 2015. He graduated from Ohio State University in ’12 with a bachelor’s degree in security and intelligence. During his time as a student, he apparently served as a Student Safety Service officer between 2010 and 2012.

As twisted turn of events, Horujko even appeared in Ohio State’s educational video on how to deal with an “active shooter” situation.

Nearly all of the principles and tactics that were addressed in the above video were used yesterday during the attack.

11 people were injured by a knife-wielding assailant, Abdul Razak Ali Artan, and Officer Alan Horujko stopped the attack minutes after it began outside Watts Hall.
