Court documents show the man opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University had previously been convicted of aiding a terrorist organization. The shooting Thursday happened less than two years after Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who the FBI identified as the gunman, left federal prison. He pleaded guilty in 2016 to trying to aid the Islamic State group and was on supervised release when the attack occurred. Prosecutors say he talked about attacking the military during an FBI sting that led to his arrest. He also had tried to buy a rifle. A judge gave him 11 years in prison, plus drug and mental health treatment. It wasn’t immediately clear why his release from prison was moved up.
