As Ohio State students celebrating their national championship win against the Ducks grew out of control, police donned riot gear and released pepper spray and tear gas on the crowds.
The Buckeyes beat the Oregon Ducks 42-20 in the first College Football Playoff National Championship, and students in Ohio hit the streets to celebrate.
Just after the game concluded, there were reports of gunfire in the Ohio State campus area. CBS Sports reported that Ohio State students tore down a goal post in their football stadium, which is known as The Horseshoe.
The Columbus Fire Department reported a total of 89 small fires near campus. Three of the reports of fire were couches, many were trash fires and none were reported as serious.
Around midnight, police began using pepper spray on the crowds, according to The Columbus Dispatch. In a failed attempt to keep the riot from closing one of the main roads, fire fighters and the police parked cars to block rioters and fought to disperse the crowd.
At 1:15 a.m. in front of the Ohio Union, police released three canisters of tear gas.
At 1:30 a.m. it was reported that one person was submitted to the hospital because of the riot.
The Columbus Dispatch also has video.
