ROTC cadet fatally stabbed Old Dominion gunman to stop shooting

( Post Millennial )

A heroic student in the ROTC program at Old Dominion was able to stop the crazed gunman who opened fire in a university classroom by fatally stabbing the shooter. 

Shooter Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, shot an instructor before the student in the ROTC was able to fatally stab him, stopping the attack, per the New York Post. Jalloh, who is a former Army National Guard member, was previously arrested for attempting to provide material support for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or ISIS. 

He "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 US soil committed in the name of ISIL," a press release from the Department of Justice stated. 

Jalloh was later sentenced to 11 years in prison as well as five years probation for the crime. Jalloh killed one individual as well as injured others in the shooting. He had walked into a class at the university's Constant Hall, which is in the College of Business at the University. 

The shooter had walked in and asked if it was an ROTC class. When someone answered that it was, that it when the shooter began to open fire, killing the class instructor and injuring others. When he was sentenced, Jalloh claimed that he regretted his action to support ISIS. 

"I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, but this mistake of giving any support to the violent and extreme organization ISIS has been the most devastating one I have ever decided to make in my life," he said to District Judge Liam O'Grady in 2017. 

"I'm very, very sorry for what I have done," he added at the time. "I did not intend to cause any harm to anyone. And I want to say — I want to say, every time I see any atrocities that ISIS commits, I am disgusted by it because I know this is not what I want to be a part of."

Two other victims in the shooting were taken to a nearby hospital and were in stable condition after getting shot.
