A tragic shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia has left one person dead and two others injured — and new revelations about the gunman are raising serious questions.
Authorities say the suspect, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, had previously served time in federal prison for attempting to support the terrorist group Islamic State. Shockingly, he had been released from prison less than two years before the attack.
What Happened
According to investigators, Jalloh entered a classroom at Old Dominion University on Thursday and opened fire.
During the chaos, ROTC students bravely confronted the shooter, ultimately stopping the attack. Jalloh was killed during the confrontation.
The shooting claimed the life of Brandon A. Shah, an Army lieutenant colonel and respected instructor with the university’s ROTC program. He served as a professor of military science and department chair.
Two other Army personnel were injured during the attack. One remains in critical condition, while the other was treated and later released from the hospital.
A Troubling Past
Court records reveal that Jalloh pleaded guilty in 2016 to providing material support to the Islamic State. Prosecutors said he had attempted to send money to the terrorist group and tried to obtain an assault rifle as part of a potential attack.
In 2017, a federal judge sentenced him to 11 years in prison, though he received credit for time already served. He was eventually released on December 23, 2024, and placed under supervised release that was expected to last until 2029.
Officials are now questioning why someone with such a serious terrorism conviction was free so soon.
Radicalization and Investigation
Investigators say Jalloh had been influenced by radical sermons from extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who became known for promoting violent jihad.
Authorities first became aware of Jalloh’s activities after he contacted Islamic State members in Africa. An undercover FBI operation later recorded him discussing plans for a possible attack similar to the Fort Hood shooting, which killed 13 people.

Growing Questions
The tragedy has sparked intense debate among officials and the public about sentencing decisions, early releases, and monitoring individuals convicted of terrorism-related offenses.
Lawmakers say the attack “never should have happened” and are demanding answers about how the situation was allowed to unfold.
Community in Mourning
Students, faculty, and military personnel are now mourning the loss of Lt. Col. Shah, remembered as a dedicated leader and mentor who served both his country and his students with honor.
The investigation into the attack and Jalloh’s activities leading up to it is still ongoing.
🙏 One life lost. Two others wounded. And a community searching for answers.
