Virginia university didn't know of student's conviction before campus shooting, report says

Virginia’s Old Dominion University did not ask a student about his criminal history before or after readmitting him RICHMOND, Va. -- A student who spent eight years in prison for attempting to aid the Islamic State and who opened fire in a classroom at Old Dominion University in March was not asked about his criminal history before or after he was readmitted to the school in Norfolk, Virginia, according to an investigative report released Tuesday. Mohamed Bailor Jalloh's probation officer also did not share Jalloh's criminal background with the university, despite the serious nature of the offense, the report said. Had the university known about Jalloh's criminal history, it's likely officials would have sought his removal from campus, the report said.
