弗吉尼亚州Old Dominion大学于2024年3月发生校园枪击事件，枪手穆罕默德·贝洛·贾洛进入教室询问是否为ROTC课堂，得到肯定回答后开枪[1]。军事教官Lt. Col. Brandon Shah在与枪手搏斗中致命受伤[1]。
根据律师事务所Cooley周二发布的调查报告，大学在枪手重新入学前后都未询问其犯罪历史[1]。贾洛曾因在2017年向伊斯兰国提供物质支持而被判处11年监禁，并曾是弗吉尼亚国民警卫队成员[1]。报告还指出，贾洛的缓刑官也未与大学共享其犯罪背景[1]。
根据弗吉尼亚州法律，大学虽然在录取或重新录取前不允许询问学生的犯罪历史，但可以在重新录取后进行此类询问[1]。
A campus shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, claimed the life of a military instructor, and a subsequent investigation has revealed significant gaps in the institution's vetting procedures.[1] Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a student and former Virginia National Guard member, entered a classroom in March and asked whether it was a ROTC class; upon receiving confirmation, he opened fire.[1] Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, a military instructor, was fatally wounded while struggling with the shooter.[1]
The shooter had previously served eight years in prison following a 2017 conviction for providing material support to ISIS.[1] A report released Tuesday by the law firm Cooley found that Old Dominion University did not inquire about Jalloh's criminal history either before or during his readmission to the institution, and his probation officer did not share his criminal background with the university.[1] Virginia state law prohibits universities from questioning students about criminal histories during initial admission or readmission decisions, though institutions are permitted to make such inquiries after a student has been readmitted.[1]
