The suspect responsible for killing one person and injuring two others at Old Dominion University (ODU) was disarmed by a group of students, with officials commending their bravery as the shooting unfolded.
36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Army National Guard soldier convicted of supporting ISIS, reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he opened fire inside the Virginia university on Thursday.
FBI officials said the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism, with Director Kash Patel revealing Jalloh was disarmed by a group of students at the university.
“The shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement,” Patel said in a social media post.
Jallah was pronounced dead at the scene, ODU Police Chief Garrett Shelton told reporters during a news conference.
While Jallah was not shot, the FBI has not yet elaborated on how he died.
