A stray bullet struck an Ohio State University student in the leg on Monday evening while the student was walking off-campus, according to police.

The shooting occurred shortly before 4 p.m. Monday on the 1400 block of North High Street — a busy strip with restaurants, bars and apartment complexes near OSU’s campus north of downtown Cleveland.

“We are aware that a student was struck in the leg by a stray bullet, and we are very thankful the individual was not more seriously injured,” OSU spokesperson Benjamin Johnson told Fox News Digital in a statement. “We have reached out to offer the student any support needed. The incident occurred off campus, and we will assist the CPD investigation in any way possible.”

A spokesperson with the Columbus Division of Police told Fox News Digital that the shooting victim appeared to be “just a bystander walking to their apartment when they were struck.”
