Ohio State wrestler, Sammy Sasso, is recovering from being shot on Friday evening according to a statement from the Ohio State Department of Athletics. A two-time Big Ten wrestling champion and two-time NCAA runner up, Sasso was a fifth-year senior last season.
“Ohio State student-athlete Sammy Sasso was the victim of a senseless shooting incident Friday evening in Columbus,” an OSU statement read. “Sasso was transported to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (WMC), where he is continuing to be cared for and monitored. Our coaching staff, along with members of the wrestling program and Athletics administrators, are grateful for the caregivers at WMC, thankful Sasso’s injuries are not life-threatening, and are supporting Sasso and his family. OSUPD is assisting Columbus Police with the ongoing investigation.”
