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.
In an instant, "Hero ROTC cadet fatally stabbed ISIS-supporting Old Dominion gunman to prevent more carnage," reported the New York Post. Other cadets jumped on too, killing Jalloh. None of the cadets have been identified, which helps protect them from terrorist revenge.
Yet no official source has been cited for the fact that a cadet stabbed Jalloh, and nothing about the knife has been described.
