Ohio State Employee Kills Co-Worker, Then Self, Police Say

An Ohio State University employee killed a co-worker and wounded another before killing himself early Tuesday morning at a university maintenance building, officials said.

The campus police said that they believed the gunman, who arrived carrying two handguns, may have been disgruntled about a poor work evaluation. No students were involved in the shooting, and classes were held as scheduled on Tuesday. The shooting occurred around 3:30 a.m.

The gunman was identified as Nathaniel Brown, 51, a custodial worker. The police said he sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Ohio State University Medical Center.

Larry Wallington, 48, a building services manager, was pronounced dead at the scene. Henry Butler, 60, an operations shift leader, was shot and injured, the police said, and was in stable condition at the medical center.

University officials said the police arrived two minutes after the shooting, and a text message alert was sent at 4:07 a.m. to more than 25,000 students and staff members who had subscribed to the alert system.

“All of us at Ohio State are shocked and deeply saddened by the shooting that occurred on campus early this morning,” said the university’s president, E. Gordon Gee.

The shooting comes as state legislatures are debating whether to ban guns on college campuses. Those who support the right to carry concealed weapons on campuses argue that having a gun protects the individual and the community and lessens the likelihood of a rampage like the one that at Virginia Tech in 2007 in which 32 students and faculty members were killed.

Opponents say that with binge drinking, drug use and the pressures that students face, campuses are the wrong place for guns.

Twenty six states, including Ohio, forbid guns on college campuses, while 23 are silent on the issue, deferring to colleges to shape policy, according to a gun control group called Gun Free Kids. Utah is the only state that endorses on-campus possession, having ruled in 2004 that those 21 and older may carry guns with a concealed-carry firearms license.

Joe Nathan considering season-ending Tommy John surgery

There’s no rite of spring more depressing than the first superstar going down with a major injury and it looks like Joe Nathan(notes) might be that player in 2010.

The Twins closer told reporters in Ft. Myers on Tuesday morning that he has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow and is weighing the possibility of season-ending Tommy John surgery.

First, though, he’ll give his arm some rest and then test out his pain threshold. With the opening of Target Field looming and the Twins set to defend their AL Central title, Nathan wants to be 100 percent sure that he can’t tolerate the pain before going under the knife.

From the Star Tribune:

“I’m going to do whatever I can right now to give myself the best chance to go out there and help this team out,” Nathan said, “but at the same time, I’m not going let this go on too long because at the same time, I know these guys have a decision to make, and they’ve gotta prepare for the season, too, so I will make a decision quicker rather than later and give them ample time to do what they have to do.”

As Roto Arcade mentions, Ron Gardenhire’s replacement options could include Matt Guerrier(notes) and Jon Rauch(notes). Guerrier is coming off a great 2009 season, but he would be far from the dominant presence that Nathan has been with a 1.87 ERA and 246 saves over the last seven seasons. There are few players who are bigger game-changers in the AL Central right now.

One more thing: The national spotlight has always found its way to Justin Morneau(notes) and Joe Mauer(notes). The focus is deserved, but it always overlooks how Nathan provides the Twins’ bullpen the same security that Mariano Rivera(notes) gives the Yankees. If Nathan’s worst fears are realized and surgery is needed, the casual baseball fan will learn just how underappreciated he’s been.
