By the way, "Bonnet" is a word that means "The hood of a car" in English because they speak this way in England. Likewise I think a "Spanner" is the English name for a crescent wrench or channel locks.

Ohio State University student killed after ramming car into pedestrians, stabbing people on Columbus campus
The rampage left at least nine people injured, either from stab wounds or the car crash, campus police said. One is in critical condition and the others are expected to survive.
"It was such a panic moment," OSU material sciences grad student Angshuman Kapin, who witnessed the assault, told the Daily News.
He said up to 80 people were on the sidewalk when the car came plowing in.
Ohio State students told to 'Run Hide Fight' amid attack
"Someone was hit in the hip ... It was sudden movement."
The school identified the lone suspect as OSU student Abdul Razak Ali Artan. He is a Somali refugee who left his native country in 2007 and became a legal permanent resident of the United States in 2014, according to NBC News.
OSU initially announced the attack as an active shooter report, warning the community in a tweet around 10 a.m.: “Run Hide Fight.”

That report panicked students across the sprawling campus as police swarmed the area near Watts Hall, an engineering building.
"My mind immediately said, 'There's a shooter,'" OSU freshman Matt Gnatowski told the Daily News about the alert.
He said he hid with hundreds of other students in a dining hall that overlooked the scene of the crime.
But school officials and police described a different attack after lifting the campus lockdown around 11:30 a.m.
The madman then got out of his car and started slashing people with a butcher knife. OSU Police Officer Alan Horujko arrived in less than a minute and fatally shot him.
Several students posted photos on social media showing Artan dead on the ground, in a pool of blood. Others recorded themselves barricading rooms with desks and chairs.
A motive for the attack is unknown. Asked if this was an act of terrorism, Jacobs said, "We have to consider that that’s a possibility."
The school's student newspaper, The Lantern, profiled Artan in its "Humans of Ohio State" photo series.
"I'm a Muslim, it's not what the media portrays me to be," Artan said in the piece.
"If people look at me, a Muslim praying, I don't know what they're going to think, what's going to happen."
President-elect Donald Trump praised the swift police response, writing on his Facebook, “THANK YOU to all FIRST RESPONDERS who reacted immediately and eliminated the threat on campus.”
Ohio Gov. John Kasich offered “thoughts and prayers” to the school community in a statement.
OSU is one of the largest universities in the country, with more than 64,000 students enrolled. The carnage came on the first day of classes after the Thanksgiving break. It also happened two days after the school's football team, the Buckeyes, scored a major win over its primary rival, the University of Michigan.
Michigan's athletics department tweeted about the attack, telling its adversaries, "Stay safe, Buckeyes."
Diana Crandall reported from Columbus and Jason Silverstein reported from New York.
