A George Soros-backed district attorney sparked fury across Virginia after blaming pro-gun lawmakers for an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack at Old Dominion University that left a decorated military veteran dead and two ROTC students wounded, ignoring the fact that unarmed students heroically subdued the jihadi attacker without firearms. Deflecting From Terrorism to Push Gun Control The Soros-funded district attorney’s statement politicizing the March 12, 2026 Old Dominion University attack represents a dangerous pattern of progressive prosecutors ignoring radical Islamic terrorism to advance gun control narratives. FBI Director Kash Patel explicitly labeled the incident terrorism, praising the brave students who stopped the threat. The shooter, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, deliberately targeted an ROTC class after confirming its military nature, shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the attack, and aspired to replicate the 2009 Fort Hood massacre. These facts demolish any attempt to frame this as a gun policy failure rather than terrorism and prison release negligence. ISIS Convict Released Early From Federal Prison Jalloh served in the Virginia Army National Guard from 2009 to 2015 as a combat engineer before turning to terrorism. In 2016, at age 26, he contacted ISIS members in Africa and plotted an attack inspired by the Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 Americans. He communicated with an FBI informant posing as an ISIS associate and attempted to purchase an AR-15 rifle, which authorities rendered inoperable. After pleading guilty to providing material support to ISIS, Judge Liam O’Grady sentenced him to just 11 years. His early release in December 2024 enabled the Old Dominion attack barely three months later. You are a complete moron. Blaming pro-gun organizations when you know damn well it was a terrorist attack. Naturalized or not he was a terrorist Soros-backed DA sparks backlash after blaming Old Dominion shooting on pro-gun lawmakers: 'F— right off'https://t.co/17Y1R9gn7R — SeelyCS (@E9_BRAT) March 13, 2026 Unarmed ROTC Students Stop Armed Terrorist At approximately 10:49 a.m., Jalloh entered a classroom in Constant Hall, asked if it was an ROTC class, and opened fire upon confirmation. He killed instructor Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, a retired Army officer who flew helicopters in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Eastern Europe. Two ROTC students sustained wounds. Within minutes, unarmed students subdued and neutralized Jalloh without firing a single shot, preventing further casualties. FBI Norfolk Special Agent Dominique Evans credited their “extreme bravery” with terminating the threat. ODU Police Chief Garrett Shelton confirmed the shooter was dead less than 10 minutes after the initial 911 call at 10:43 a.m. Americans Reject Progressive Prosecutor’s Spin The DA’s attempt to blame pro-gun lawmakers ignited widespread backlash, including profane public rejections of the narrative. Citizens recognized the absurdity of blaming Second Amendment advocates when an ISIS-inspired terrorist deliberately targeted military students in an act of jihad. The heroism of unarmed ROTC students further undermines gun control arguments, as they stopped the threat through courage and training, not firearms. This incident underscores the real threats Americans face: lenient sentencing for terrorists, early prison releases, inadequate monitoring of convicted extremists, and prosecutors more interested in advancing progressive agendas than holding radical Islamic terrorists accountable for their ideology-driven violence. Norfolk's Soros-backed Attorney Ramin Fatehi is blaming the shooting on…. Republicans Not the foreign islamist who actually carried out the attack and was previously convicted for providing support to ISIS pic.twitter.com/1RD24LsRfH — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) March 13, 2026 The political exploitation of this tragedy dishonors Lt. Col. Shah’s sacrifice and the bravery of ROTC students who confronted evil. Americans deserve prosecutors focused on justice and national security, not ideologically-driven narratives that deflect from terrorism. The questions surrounding Jalloh’s early release and post-prison monitoring demand answers, not gun control rhetoric that ignores the documented facts of an ISIS-inspired attack on American military personnel.
