A tragic event occurred at Old Dominion University when a gunman, Mohamed Jalloh, opened fire, killing one person and injuring two others. Jalloh, a former Army National Guardsman previously convicted of supporting ISIS, attempted a terrorist attack. The incident happened in an academic building, and ROTC students bravely intervened, stopping Jalloh without using a gun. Jalloh had been released from prison early after serving time for his 2016 conviction. This story highlights the bravery of the ROTC students and raises questions about the early release of individuals with past terrorist connections.
