Old Dominion Shooter Recently Released From Prison

NEW YORK (AP) — A man who opened fire in a classroom at Virginia’s Old Dominion University was granted an early release from federal prison in 2024 after completing a drug treatment program. That’s according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty in 2017 to providing material support to the Islamic State group. Prison records show he was released about 2½ years early. It’s unclear how Jalloh qualified for a prison drug treatment program. Jalloh killed one person and injured two others in the shooting at Old Dominion on Thursday.
