The New York Post has reported that the shooter who injured two individuals at Old Dominion University on Thursday has been identified as a former member of the National Guard with a prior conviction for supporting ISIS.
The suspect, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, was apprehended on July 3, 2016, for “attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.” He was convicted in 2017 and received an 11-year prison sentence.
Right Line News’s Eric Daugherty noted that Jalloh was a “migrant from western Africa.”
According to the Post, Jalloh allegedly entered a classroom in Old Dominion University’s Constant Hall, inquiring whether it was an ROTC class. Upon receiving confirmation, he began shooting, targeting the instructor. The situation ended when an ROTC student intervened and fatally stabbed him.
