USA – The Old Dominion University shooting suspect who killed one person and wounded two others before being neutralized was identified as being previously convicted of providing material support to the ISIS (Daesh) terror group.

Citing two senior law enforcement officials, the shooter was identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, who had pleaded guilty in 2016 to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and was sentenced to 11 years in prison as well as five years of supervised release.

The shooting took place shortly before 10.49 am local time (1549GMT) in Constant Hall, the university said, with university police, Norfolk police and emergency personnel responding immediately.

The university later said there was no longer a threat on its premises.

Two of the victims were transported by ambulance to the Level I trauma center at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. One of those patients has passed away. The other remains in critical condition. A third victim brought themselves to another hospital.

FBI Director Kash Patel said agency personnel are providing assistance and working with local authorities responding regarding the incident.

The university canceled all classes and operations on its main campus for the remainder of the day, urging people to avoid the area around Constant Hall while emergency personnel continued working at the scene.
