NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The all clear was provided after a shooting at Old Dominion University Thursday morning. One victim was killed and two were hurt. The suspected gunman is dead, according to ODU officials.

In a press conference held around 2 p.m., ODU Police Chief Shelton confirmed one victim was deceased and two were now in stable condition. He added one victim self-transported to a hospital in Virginia Beach.

ODU President Brian Hemphill, Ph.D., issued a statement in reference to the shooting:

ODU sophomore Logan Hayes was in Constant Hall taking a test when the active shooter situation started. He said the fire alarm went off and he ran out of the building.

As soon as he got outside, Logan told WAVY, “I heard about a multitude of gunshots go off and people just screaming.”

In a statement issued by the U.S. Army Cadet Command, it was confirmed two victims were members of the university’s ROTC program.

“We are deeply saddened from the active shooter incident that occurred at Old Dominion University on March 12, 2026. We can confirm that two members of the university ROTC program were shot and were taken to a local hospital to treat their injuries.”

A gunman opened fire in Constant Hall at approximately 10:50 a.m. ODU officials said two people were injured as a result and were taken to a local hospital. Both victims were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital around 11:15 a.m. in critical condition, according to a Sentara official.

An all clear notification was sent by ODU officials around 12:15 p.m. that reads:

“This is an all clear notification. The emergency at Constant Hall has ended. There is no longer an active threat to the campus community. Avoid the area in and around Constant Hall where emergency officials continue to work.”NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The all clear was provided after a shooting at Old Dominion University Thursday morning.

As usual, no ID of the murderer, nor reports of the media demanding his identity.

90% chance that the name Mohammed is linked to the shooter when the ID is delayed.

Karol Marcowicz is reporting the following:

I'm reliably informed that the alleged attacker of Old Dominion is Mohamed Jalloh, the same Jalloh who was previously convicted of providing support to ISIL.

I’m still waiting for information about the guy who drove his vehicle past the barriers near the White House several days ago. It’s like it never happened.

You are correct.

Mohamed Jalloh is the alleged perp according to Karol Markowicz.

If he was previously convicted of supporting ISIL why is he still in this country?

I work events at ODU all the time. Most crime occurs off campus, there are some sketchy neighborhoods .

February 2025 there was a double homicide that occurred on campus in a parking lot . Local yutes from the sketchy neighborhoods that were shot by a thug. Neither victims or shooter were students or employees of ODU.

How is it that santuary states and cities are allowed to exist?

“attacker of Old Dominion is Mohamed Jalloh”

And in unison, a collective sigh of relief is heard across the land Goryeo.

I used to drive past ODU during my daily commute when I worked on the Naval base.

Beautiful campus in a stately old neighborhood. Unfortunately, like much of the 757, quality of life greatly diminished by rampant black crime.

Of note, this shooter appears black as well. A former National Guardsman and naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone from what I'm reading.

Also of note, his shooting spree ended when a heroic ROTC cadet stabbed him to death with a knife.

Very good question.

The killer is a naturalized citizen from Sierra Leone and a former National Guardsman himself. Convicted of terrorist activities in 2016 and released from prison in 2024.

Indeed. why TF was he still here?
