The gunman who opened fire at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., last week entered a classroom and yelled, “Allahu Akbar,” before fatally shooting an instructor and wounding two students before he was killed in a struggle with other students, authorities said.
The gunman was identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, a former member of the Army National Guard who once attempted to support ISIS, The New York Times reported. The paper reported that Jalloh inquired twice to make sure that the class in the room was a Reserve Officer Training Corps.
CNN said the attacker, who served prison time for attempting to aid ISIS, “cloaked violence in the language of religion.”
He was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2016 for helping “an overseas terrorist plot an attack in the U.S.,” the paper said. The report said Jalloh, who was born in Sierra Leone and was a naturalized citizen, was released from custody in 2024. The Associated Press reported that he was granted early release because he completed a drug treatment program.
The Times noted that authorities are investigating the attack as an act of terrorism. Authorities said Jalloh admired the Fort Hood massacre that occurred on 5 November 2009, which resulted in the killings of 13 people. The gunman in that case, Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army major, also yelled “Allahu Akbar” before shooting.
Like Jalloh, Hasan was also inspired by Anwar al-Awlaki, an American imam, the AP said.
Jalloh wrote the sentencing judge in the case that he felt “deep regret” for “having been driven by my emotions rather than my intellect and becoming involved with such an evil organization. … I reject and deplore terrorism and any groups associated with it, especially ISIL,” the report said.
He indicated that it was a sensitive time in his life and he had just broken up with a girlfriend.
“I started doing marijuana, coke and mushrooms using one of them at least on a daily basis in order to kill the pain I was in and to fill in the void I felt internally,” he said.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has forecast that the world is experiencing the beginning of the 9th Crusade, and the battlelines are now being drawn and the media and political class will use shootings like this one to try to get Americans to support the new holy war in the Middle East. (See “9th CRUSADE: JEWISH RADIO HOST CALLS NEW YORK’S MAYOR A ‘RADICAL ISLAM COCKROACH’” (10 Mar 2026), “9th CRUSADE: REPUBLICANS SELLING ANTI-MUSLIM HATE AFTER AUSTIN SHOOTING” (10 Mar 2026), and “CRUSADES 2000: TOP ISRAELI THREATENS YEMEN WITH THE ‘PLAGUE OF THE FIRSTBORN’ AFTER STRIKE ON SANAA” (26 Aug 2025).
Mike Pompeo, the former secretary of state under Donald Trump, used the shooting to sell fear and hatred against Muslims in the U.S.
“Two terrorist attacks on the homeland in one day, one targeting a synagogue, the other at Old Dominion. Islamist terrorism is on the rise once again. We must face this threat head on,” he posted.
TREND FORECAST: Gerald Celente has said there will need to be a false flag attack to get Americans to support Trump’s war in the Middle East and to try to make it appear that Israel is in the fight to protect Americans from the barbarians at the gate, and Americans will swallow the bullshit and support the war.
