Josh Heiferling, from Cleveland, Ohio spoke for many describing how he’d been affected by the incident:

“Keeping your head down more than usual, I’d say. Walking to class faster than usual. Sirens personally I know when I hear the sirens my heart sinks a little bit.”

Responsibility for the car and knife rampage has been claimed by ISIL militants who described the assailant as a “soldier”.

But there has been no confirmation of any connection between Somali-born Abdul Razak Ali Artan who was himself a student at the university before he was shot dead by police.

The authorities are investigating terrorism as a possible motive suggesting Artan may have been radicalised online by jihadist propaganda.
