“There’s just all these alerts that are going off. And you know, it’s about the shooting that’s happening,” Denton said.
A shooting at Old Dominion University left one person dead and two others injured Thursday morning after 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh opened fire inside Constant Hall, a classroom and academic facility on campus. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism.
