Trump to Meet with OSU Attack Victims, First Responders

ABC News(NEW YORK) — Donald Trump plans on visiting Ohio State University to privately meet with victims of last week’s attack, as well as first responders, according to the college.

On Nov. 28, an 18-year-old OSU student drove into pedestrians with a car and then began stabbing people, leaving 11 injured. OSU Officer Alan Horujko fatally shot the suspect, putting an end to the rampage.

After the meetings at OSU, Trump is expected to address the media, according to a statement from the school’s public relations team.

Trump will also continue his thank-you tour Thursday with a stop in Des Moines, Iowa — a state that helped him win the White House.

The president-elect’s rally is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at the Hy-Vee Hall in the Iowa Events Center.

Iowa is Trump’s third stop. He held a rally in Ohio last week, where he said he had “a lot of fun fighting Hillary Clinton” and held his second rally on Monday in North Carolina, where he threatened to take action against flag burners and also formally announced retired Marine Gen. James Mattis as his defense secretary pick.

On Wednesday, Trump tapped Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad to be the next U.S. ambassador to China, and Gov. Branstad will join Trump at the rally Thursday night.

Trump won the Hawkeye State on Election Day with 52 percent of the vote, compared to Clinton’s 42 percent. Trump, however, finished second in the Iowa Republican caucuses back in February.
