Old Dominion shooter previously convicted of trying to help ISIS attack US soil: report

The gunman who allegedly attacked Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, on Thursday has been connected to support for the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

New York Post columnist Karol Markowicz first reported that Mohamed Jalloh was likely responsible for two people being injured at Old Dominion. The gunman later died.

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

Federal sources relayed the same information to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin.

The FBI arrested Jalloh in 2016 "for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)," according to a statement. "According to the complaint, Jalloh is alleged to have attempted to provide services by assisting in the procurement of weapons to be used in what he believed was going to be an attack on U.S. soil committed in the name of ISIL. In addition, the complaint alleges that Jalloh attempted to provide material support to ISIL by providing money to assist in the facilitation of individuals seeking to join ISIL."
