WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Donald Trump is planning to travel to Ohio State University to meet with some of the victims of the recent attack that left 11 people injured.

Trump is expected to arrive in Columbus on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the plans but not authorized to discuss them before they are announced.

Authorities say 18-year-old Somali-born student Abdul Razak Ali Artan drove his car into a campus crowd and then stabbed multiple people before being shot and killed by a police officer.



Authorities have said Artan was inspired by Islamic State rhetoric, but they’re still investigating the claim by the militant group that it had recruited the student.

Trump has denounced the immigration policies that allowed Artan into the country.
