On March 12, 2026, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh walked into a classroom at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. He asked twice if it was a ROTC (Reserve Officers” Training Corps) class. When told that was, he shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greater) and shot the instructor, Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, several times, killing him. He also shot and wounded two ROTC cadets. He used a Glock 44 .22 caliber rimfire pistol.
