A shooter identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University, killing one person and wounding two; the FBI says the attack is being investigated as terrorism and the suspect is dead.

Suspect is Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Sierra Leone who served in the Virginia Army National Guard from 2009 to 2015.
One person was killed and two others were wounded, including one in critical condition, and all three victims are affiliated with Old Dominion University.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the incident is being investigated as an act of terrorism and credited students who helped subdue the shooter.
Jalloh pleaded guilty in 2016 to attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State, was sentenced to 11 years, and was released from federal custody in December 2024.
Officers arrived within about 10 minutes and found the shooter dead, though officials have not confirmed how he died or whether officers fired.
Old Dominion canceled classes, suspended campus operations, and federal agencies including the ATF are assisting the ongoing investigation.
