US EditionWhat We Know About the Old Dominion University Gunman, a Veteran and Convicted ISIS Supporter
Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Virginia National Guard member with a prior terrorism conviction, targeted ROTC members, killing one and injuring two, federal investigators say.
- Late Thursday morning, a gunman opened fire inside Constant Hall at Old Dominion University's College of Business during an ROTC gathering, killing Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah and injuring two others before officers arrived at 10:50 a.m.
- Federal investigators identified the shooter as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, a former Virginia National Guard member who pleaded guilty in 2017 to attempting to provide material support to ISIS and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
- According to prison records, Jalloh was moved from a low-security federal facility in Allenwood, Pennsylvania to a Baltimore-area residential reentry center in August 2024 and released in December 2024 under a substance-abuse early-release provision.
- Investigators traced the firearm to an illegal sale; Kenya Mcchell Chapman was arrested Friday in connection with selling the pistol to Jalloh, while a cellphone recovered near Jalloh's body allowed authorities to retrace his movements before the attack.
- The shooting has renewed scrutiny of Jalloh's early release; Bureau director William Marshall implemented a policy change on September 25, 2025 barring inmates with terrorism-related convictions from early-release eligibility under the prior federal provision.
