Tragedy at Old Dominion University: Shooting Investigated as Act of Terrorism

A deadly shooting at Old Dominion University resulted in the death of Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, an Army ROTC instructor and veteran, who is being remembered as a dedicated soldier and mentor. The shooter, Mohamed Jalloh, identified as a former National Guard member and a supporter of ISIS, was killed by ROTC students on the scene after he opened fire, injuring two others. The FBI has launched an investigation into the incident as a potential act of terrorism, raising questions about how Jalloh acquired the firearm used in the attack. Memorials honoring Lt. Col. Shah have been held, and flags are being flown at half-staff across Virginia in his memory. Further legal actions are underway against individuals involved in the sale of the weapon to Jalloh.
