The contractor “suffered a car- diac episode while sheltering and sadly passed away shortly after” the attack, Defense Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.

  • No. 15 Ohio State Falls to Purdue 67-65 in Heartbreaking Fashion
    No. 15 Ohio State Falls To Purdue 67-65 In Heartbreaking Fashion The No. 15 Ohio State men’s basketball team fell 67-65 to Purdue in heartbreaking fashion despite a 21- point, six-assist performance by junior guard Duane Washington Jr. at Value City Arena on Jan. 19. Purdue freshman guard Jaden Ivey hit a cold-blooded step-back three-pointer over fourth-year junior wing Justice Sueing with just five seconds left to beat the Buckeyes in Columbus. “They made a lot of really tough plays in the game, so give them credit,” Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said. “It was a hard-fought Big Ten game. We’ve got to figure out how to get better and move forward. This one obviously stings. We’ll have to move forward. The Buckeyes misfired on their chance to break a 64-64 tie when junior wing Justin Ahrens missed a contested three where he drew contact. Trailing by five with just 1:48 left, Purdue junior forward Trevion Williams made a tough shot over sophomore forward E.J. Liddell before the Boilermakers forced a shot clock violation on the Buckeyes’ next possession. Then, Boilermaker fourth-year junior guard Sasha Stefanovic drilled a three-pointer to tie the game at 64 with just 52 ticks remaining. Liddell drew a foul with 2:11 on the clock, and after making the first foul shot, he missed the second. Senior forward Kyle Young grabbed the rebound on Liddell’s missed free throw and then he found Ahrens for his fourth triple of the game to push the lead to 64-59 with 2:08 on the clock.
