The New York Post is reporting that the gunman who shot and injured two at Old Dominion University Thursday is a former National Guardsman convicted of supporting ISIS.
The alleged Old Dominion attacker, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, was arrested on July 3, 2016, “for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.” In 2017, he was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Right Line News’s Eric Daugherty noted that Jalloh was a “migrant from western Africa.”
On Thursday, the Post noted that Jalloh allegedly entered a classroom in ODU’s Constant Hall, “asked if it was an ROTC class,” then began shooting after being answered in the affirmative. He shot the instructor before being stabbed to death by an ROTC student.
