A tragic shooting at Old Dominion University Thursday morning left one person dead and two others injured before students managed to stop the gunman. The shooter has been identified as Mohamed Jalloh, who had previously served prison time for providing material support to ISIL and was released in 2024. Students at the Norfolk campus took decisive action during the incident, ultimately preventing what could have been a much worse tragedy. The quick response from those on scene helped bring the dangerous situation to an end. The shooting has shaken the ODU community, with the university working to support students, faculty, and staff in the aftermath. While ODU is located in Norfolk rather than the Outer Banks, many local families have connections to the university through students or graduates. This developing story continues to unfold as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack and the community begins to process this difficult event.
