US EditionOld Dominion shooter was released from prison early after completing drug treatment program: AP
Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, released from custody in late 2024 after an 11-year sentence for ISIS support, killed an ROTC instructor and wounded two before being subdued by students.
- Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who had previously served time for attempting to assist the Islamic State group, carried out a shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia on Thursday. ROTC students subdued and killed him after he opened fire inside a classroom.
- The attack left one person dead and two others injured, prompting scrutiny over why Jalloh had been released from prison and the terms under which he was freed, given his earlier conviction for supporting a terrorist organization.
- Jalloh had pleaded guilty in 2016 to providing material support to the Islamic State group and was sentenced in 2017 to 11 years in federal prison, with credit for time served dating back to his July 2016 arrest.
- He was released from federal custody on December 23, 2024—far earlier than expected—after reportedly completing a drug treatment program that can reduce prison sentences by up to one year, although inmates convicted of terrorism-related offenses are generally not eligible for such reductions.
