Earlier, we reported on a shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. That shooting wounded two individuals and the shooter is deceased.
Now we reportedly have the identity of the shooter: Mohamed Jalloh. This is the same Mohamed Jalloh who was previously convicted of supporting ISIL.

Jalloh was arrested in 2016, according to a press release from the Department of Justice, "attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 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."

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to keep the Department of Homeland Security shut down in a push to defund the agency and abolish ICE.
