Its been a week since the deadly shooting at Old Dominion University; a tragic incident that shocked the community, left a U.S. Army officer dead and prompted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to get involved.
What happened
On March 12, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh went into Constant Hall and entered an ROTC classroom. He pulled out a gun, yelled out the common Muslim phrase “Allahu Akbar,” and opened fire on the class, according to the FBI. ROTC Professor of Military Science Lt. Col. Brandon Shah was killed and two others were injured — the students in the classroom then subdued and killed Jalloh.
One victim was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital Thursday afternoon in critical condition, and another was released after a brief visit to Sentara Independence. The critical patient’s condition was still listed as “fair” on Tuesday morning, five days after the shooting, per a Sentara spokesperson.
